Coach Jurgen Klopp expressed his feelings about winning the Carabao Cup (EFL Cup).
Liverpool beat Chelsea 1-0 in the final of the 2023/24 Carabao Cup at Wembley Stadium in London, England, on the 26th (Korea time).
Chelsea had the chance first. Raheem Sterling shook Liverpool’s net at 32 minutes into the first half when Nicola Jackson passed. However, VAR determined that Jackson’s position was offside when Cole Palmer passed.
Liverpool also fought back, but it did not lead to a goal. In the 40th minute of the first half, Cody Hakpo finished Andy Robertson’s cross from the left with a header but hit the net. The first half ended 0-0.
The flow of the second half was similar. Conor Gallagher connected a pass to Enzo Fernandez in the penalty box in the 7th minute of the second half, but Enzo’s heel kick turned away from the goal. Harvey Elliott volleyed the academic’s cross in the 13th minute of the second half, but was blocked by Jorge Petrovic’s save.
Liverpool scored, but it was canceled soon. In the 15th minute of the second half, Virgil van Dijk penetrated the Chelsea goal with a header in a free-kick situation, but VAR confirmed Liverpool players’ offside.
Chelsea missed valuable chances at the end of the second half one after another. Gallagher’s shot hit the post at the 30th minute of the second half. In the 40th minute of the second half, Gallagher had a one-on-one chance with the goalkeeper, but failed to break through Quivin Keller. The second half also ended 0-0.
The match was decided in extra time. Van Dyke scored the winning goal with a header from Liverpool’s corner kick in the 13th minute of the second half of extra time. Chelsea went on the offensive afterwards, but it was difficult to reverse the result. Liverpool’s victory ended the game. 여우알바
This championship was more special for Liverpool than ever. Klopp said in January, “I’m leaving the team after this season. I can understand that the first time you hear this, it’s going to be shocking.”
He announced his resignation, saying, “I love everything about this club. What I’m making this decision is that I’m sure.” This could be Klopp’s last trophy in Liverpool.
“This is the most special trophy of 20 years,” Klopp said after winning his 10th EFL Cup. “I didn’t care about my legacy at all. I didn’t come here to leave something. This moment is very special.”
“What happened here is absolutely crazy. It’s impossible. I’m so proud to be part of Liverpool tonight. We deserved it. It was awesome,” he said with joy.
