Barcelona legend Carles Puyol recently shared his admiration for Chelsea's Moises Caicedo, describing him as a "great player" with the potential to achieve "important things." The Ecuadorian midfielder has had a challenging first season with the Blues, having been signed for a staggering £115m from Brighton last summer.
Despite spending only two seasons with Brighton, Caicedo quickly made a name for himself as one of the top holding midfielders in the highly competitive Premier League. His impressive performances caught the attention of not only Chelsea, but also Liverpool. However, since his move to Stamford Bridge, Caicedo has struggled to find his footing in a team that has faced various challenges.
But on Monday's 6-0 victory over Everton, Caicedo showed glimpses of his true potential, putting in one of his best performances of the season. Puyol, when asked about his thoughts on Caicedo, praised the 22-year-old's skills and talents in an interview with Ecuadorian outlet El Universo. The former Barcelona and Spain defender also emphasized the importance of Caicedo being part of a strong team that will allow him to continue to grow and develop.
Both Caicedo and Chelsea will be looking to build on this positive momentum as they navigate through Mauricio Pochettino's reign at Stamford Bridge. They hope to climb up the Premier League table and compete for the FA Cup, which they will face against Manchester City in the semi-finals.
Chelsea's previous trip to Wembley for the League Cup final ended in disappointment as they lost to Liverpool in the dying moments of the game. But they will have another chance to prove themselves at Wembley this weekend in the FA Cup semi-finals against the reigning Premier League champions and Champions League holders, Manchester City.
Although Chelsea's last game against Everton ended in a resounding 6-0 victory with Cole Palmer scoring a perfect hat-trick, Manchester City will be no easy opponent. They are also in great form, having beaten Luton Town 5-1 in their last game.
