‘Incredibly strong, but this is what happened! Klopp finally reveals how Liverpool defeat Tuchel strong team
What a huge game and entertaining Carabao Cup final between Liverpool and Chelsea at the Wembley Stadium on Sunday evening.
However, both teams had opportunities to win the game, but Chelsea had the bigger chances, with Mason Mount and Christian Pulisic missing chances when left in front of the goalkeeper.
Romelu Lukaku also had a goal controversially ruled out for offside.
At the end, Liverpool won the game on penalty shootouts, with Caoimhin Kelleher scoring the winning penalty.
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp reserved massive praise for his goalkeeper, and admitted that they needed luck to win the game.
Klopp said: “Even in professional football there should be space for some sentiment. Caoimhin Kelleher is a young boy, plays in all the competition, what do I do? I am two things, a professional manager and a human being and the human being won. He deserves it”
“At the training centre we have a wall that all goalkeepers are on who won something and Caoimhin can go on it – that’s how it should be – absolutely great.
“I am happy for the people to celebrate something like this. Chelsea are incredibly strong, we matched each other.
“That is the start, we are not silly. We need to have luck – we had luck, that could have been 5-5.”
