The Kop has lost too many pillars due to ιnjury, and with Gravenberch unable to continue playing, it is understandable that the German coach is angry. There was information that Salah and Nunez recovered for the final, but in the end neither was named in the squad.
Gary Neville said on Sky Sports: “Jurgen Klopp is going crаzy. He’s really going crаzy over there.” Former referee Mike Dean said: “ That was Caicedo’s second foul, and if the referee showed a card, it could only have been a yellow card. It is very difficult to draw a red card in this situation.”
The match between Chelsea and Liverpool was exciting. There were many opportunities created after 90 minutes of official play, but no team scored a goal. The match then had to go into 2 extra periods. In the 118th minute, Van Dijk scored the decisive goal to help Liverpool win 1-0, thereby winning the English League Cup this season.
THE LARGER IMAGE Due to their absence from Sunday’s cup final, the Reds already have a lengthy list of injured players, including Trent Alexander-Arnold, Darwin Nunez, and Mohamed Salah. A late goal by Virgil van Dijk helped a youthful Liverpool team win the trophy at Wembley despite the absence of its star players.
FUTURE ACTIONS FOR LIVERPOOL?
The Merseyside club will now turn their attention to the FA Cup after winning their first trophy of the year. On Wednesday, they will play Championship team Southampton in the fifth round of the competition.
