FC Liverpool vs. FC Chelsea: Penalty drama! Klopp beats Tuchel – Soccer

What a thrilling League Cup final!

Liverpool beat Chelsea 11-10 on penalties after 22 tries! Jürgen Klopp (54) beats Thomas Tuchel (48)!

Klopp on “Sky Sports”: “I’m happy for people that they can celebrate something like this in such dark times. Chelsea were incredibly strong, we equalized each other. We must be lucky – we were lucky. That could have gone 5:5.”

Especially in focus: goalkeepers Édouard Mendy (Chelsea/29), Kepa Arrizabalaga (Chelsea/27) and Caoimhín Kelleher (Liverpool/23).

6. Minute: Ex-Dortmunder Pulisic fails from six meters to Liverpool’s substitute goalkeeper Kelleher! The Ireland international goalkeeper, who is allowed to play in the cup, just manages to raise his paw and prevents the lead.

30. Minute: What a save from Chelsea goalkeeper Mendy! First he parried a long-range shot from ex-Leipzig player Keita. Then the sensational act! Mané gets the rebound in front of his feet, but Mendy holds from three meters outstanding.

49. Minute: England international Mount is completely free in front of the goal. From eleven meters he only hits the post. Tuchel hits the ground several times!

67. Minute: The most controversial scene of the game! Joel Matip puts Liverpool ahead after a free kick with a header but VAR retakes the goal! Reason: Van Dijk is offside on the cross in the sixteen, holds Chelsea defender James. Lucky for Chelsea!

78. Minute: Chelsea also cheers briefly. Havertz heads a cross from substitute Werner into the goal. Before that, however, there was an offside position. The hit is rightly quickly taken back.

90+1. Minute: Mendy’s next outstanding save! Van Dijk heads the ball from a corner, but the Chelsea keeper is down again in a flash and saves.

90+5. Minute: Again, a goalkeeper objects to a lead. Lukaku comes to an end from three meters, Liverpool’s Kelleher can still extend his feet.

And so it goes into overtime!

97. Minute: Again the VAR is flagged for offside. Lukaku scores, but before that he was millimeters offside. Consequently, the hit does not count.

110. Minute: Offside goal for the third! Havertz pushes the ball over the line. But: He was offside before the pass. That goal doesn’t count either…

119. Minute: Tuchel surprised! He takes the outstanding Mendy off the field and brings on substitute goalkeeper Kepa for penalties.

The penalties were taken in front of the Liverpool fans’ corner.

Milner, Fabinho, van Dijk, Alexander-Arnold, Salah, Jota, Origi, Robertson, Elliott, Konate score for Liverpool, Alonso, Lukaku, Havertz, James, Jorginho, Rüdiger, Kante, Werner, T. Silva, Chalobah for Chelsea.

So the goalkeepers have to go! Kelleher scores but substitute Kepa chases the ball over the goal!

He chooses Liverpool FC League Cup winners!

Tuchel later explains his change decision as follows: “We’ve done this before with Kepa, he’s a little better at penalties and that’s why I made the decision. It’s unusual that all 11 players have to shoot, he did it a bit too fast. Sometimes these things can turn against you. But you meet them when they need to be met, not afterwards when people can judge you.”

Bitter: Ex-Bayern player Thiago was injured during the warm-up. The Spaniard shed a number of tears afterwards.

There were also emotional scenes before kick-off: the teams commemorated the Ukrainian victims. Liverpool fans chanted “You’ll never walk alone” during a minute’s silence.

In the end, however, Liverpool were able to celebrate their first title of the season!
