Chelsea was defeated by Liverpool at Wembley to win the Carabao Cup. This is what we saw when Jürgen Klopp’s team celebrated winning their most recent trophy.
WEMBLEY STADIUM LONDON; Liverpool’s performance against Chelsea in the Carabao Cup final was outstanding despite the challenging circumstances. A few minutes from time, Virgil van Dijk scored the game-winning goal, but it wasn’t the only amazing moment of the amazing afternoon.
Because of how bad Liverpool’s injury situation was, Bobby Clark and Jayden Danns were major contributors to the win. The latter was at the national stadium despite having just made his U21 debut a few weeks prior.
Despite all the money Chelsea has spent, as well as all the young players who have gone on to succeed elsewhere, Liverpool was a much-weakened team that still managed to win. Maybe there’s a lesson for Todd Boehly and company there.
This might be a significant boost ahead of a thrilling finish to the season, in which Liverpool still has a chance to win three titles before Jürgen Klopp leaves. The Reds are aware that they can overcome obstacles even in difficult situations.
These are the four things that Liverpool.com noticed on the Wembley pitch during the trophy celebrations. After an incredible display of character from his team, Klopp undoubtedly enjoyed his time.
Virgil van Dijk and Jürgen Klopp shares trophy duties.
After Jordan Henderson moved for Saudi Arabia in the summer and Van Dijk was designated Liverpool’s permanent captain, this was the first prize he had raised. Although Liverpool would hope otherwise, Klopp may take this trophy as his last, so it is fitting that they both had the responsibility of carrying it above their heads.
Van Dijk led a bunch of players who, at the end, looked more like an Academy team. This was quite a performance. The Dutchman nodded in the winning goal, and he was the senior body.
Liverpool coaches’ YNWA
Naturally, Klopp is not the only one leaving Liverpool at the conclusion of the season. Here, he was accompanied by Pep Lijnders as they sang a rendition of You’ll Never Walk Alone. Along with Vitor Matos and Peter Krawietz, the Dutch assistant coach will be sorely missed at the AXA Training Centre.
The Liverpool coaching staff will have the opportunity to celebrate at least one more before the season ends (at the season’s last home game at Anfield). However, the Reds will also be hoping for more celebrations at Wembley.
Ryan Gravenberch using crutches
There was another injury to add to the absurd list of absences that Klopp is already dealing with, which was one aspect of the day that Liverpool would not have appreciated. Moisés Caicedo knocked Gravenberch hard enough to bend his ankle the incorrect direction, which cannot be healthy.
With crutches to assist him walk and a protective boot on his left foot, he hobbled back onto the ground to celebrate at the conclusion. The amount of the damage will probably be determined by scans, and Liverpool can revisit that in a few hours. For the time being, nothing, not even another possible setback, can take away the joy from those jumping around on the Wembley pitch.
Squad members positioned themselves arm in arm.
Some players leaped into each other’s arms, while Caoimhín Kelleher and Adrián were seen cuddling. At Wembley, the entire Liverpool team stood in front of the Reds supporters, creating a touching and sentimental scene.
As Coldplay’s A Sky Full of Stars played in the background, Alexis Mac Allister carried the trophy back into the dressing room, trailed by a dancing Harvey Elliott and Kenny Dalglish down the tunnel.
Even though Klopp will be replaced as head coach in a few months, this team has a strong sense of unity. This Reds team can win a lot more games together, as evidenced by that camaraderie and the overwhelming quality and depth that the new manager will need to use. That might occur prior to Klopp’s departure, assuming the quadruple remains active.
