My confidence was destroyed at Liverpool and I was booed - so I joined Chelsea to win trophies

Chelsea take on Liverpool in the Carabao Cup final on Sunday as they both compete for the first piece of silverware on offer this season.

The two teams have shared various finals over the years, as well as players moving between the two clubs. One of those was Yossi Benayoun, who swapped Liverpool for Chelsea back in 2010.

He played just 24 times for the Blues before moving to Arsenal and West Ham on loan. He was released in the summer of 2013 and went on to play for Queens Park Rangers, before returning to Israel to finish his career.

The move from Liverpool to Chelsea ended a three-year stay at Anfield. At the time, the winger explained why he decided to make the move.

«Everyone asks me why I left Liverpool,» he said in 2010. «There is only one reason – Rafa Benítez.»

«If I played well, I never felt he gave me credit,» he told the News of the World.

«When I scored, I still expected to be out of the team the next game. On two occasions early last season, against Fulham and Lyon, the fans booed when I was subbed. They thought I was playing well but Benítez told me he was surprised the fans booed because I was not good enough.

»He tried to destroy my confidence. You can't treat a player like this and expect him to be happy."

Responding to his move to Chelsea from Liverpool, Benayoun highlighted the fight for silverware as one of the decisions to join the club. “All the years here in England, five years, Chelsea were always a difficult side to play against with big players and that's why they are always there at the top, fighting for trophies — that's why I am glad
