A Spanish footballer lived this Sunday a cursed episode in British football. Kepa Arrizabalaga, the Athletic exporter and Chelsea player, was involved in an unusual event. In the Carabao Cup, the English League Cup, he came out at the end of extra time against Liverpool to try to stop one of the penalties in the mandatory shootout and not only did he not succeed, but he was unlucky enough to miss the shot decisive. Liverpool scored eleven penalties without error and Chelsea managed ten, with Kepa’s slip.
The saddest guy at Wembley was the Spanish goalkeeper, a regular substitute for Mendy who had played in the preliminary round of the Carabao Cup but not in the final. Tuchel opted for the Frenchman to face Liverpool.
The game ended in the 90 minutes and the extra time with a scoreless draw and Tuchel decided to bring in Kepa for the penalty shootout. This was sensational in hits. All the Liverpool players scored their shot (Milner, Fabinho, Van Dijk, Alexander-Arnold, Salah, Diogo Jota, Origi, Robertson, Elliot, and Konaté). Also those of Chelsea (Marcos Alonso, Lukaku, Havertz, James, Jorginho, Rudiger, Kanté, Werner, Thiago Silva and Chalobah).
It was the turn of the goalkeepers. Kelleher began, Alisson’s regular understudy. Goal, Liverpool’s eleventh consecutive. It was Kepa’s turn, and his shot went high up the middle. Desolation of the Basque goalkeeper, the title for Liverpool.
