Amazing outcome for Klopp and Liverpool. So many injuries we had to play a bunch of kids but we still found a way to win. What a club, no other team with this many injuries wins that game today.
Van Dijk is back to his best, what a legend. This will give us massive momentum now going forward with more trophies to play for this season.
Klopp has a first title in this season with Liverpool for his last season with them. They are going to fight in Premier League and Europa League and are doing well. I hope they will win at least one more title in this season as a celebration for Klopp and a happy goodbye after all best they have together over nearly 10 years.
Van Dijk has yet been back to his best if we consider his performances throughout this season but in a single match, he can have excellent performance like this final match.
According to the match, it still looks quite well and Liverpool even more dominated the match. They made 24 shots and won 54% of the ball possessions. It means, Liverpool still can perform with their best although they used many substituted players in the midfield and attacking line. But of course, the shot accuracy will be very different with the main players. So, no attacker could score a goal, Van Dijk who scored a single goal in the extra time to make Liverpool winning the EFL Cup. Again, Van Dijk showed to the people that he is a true hero in Liverpool squad.
Klopp does not only help Liverpool to win this cup but he has also set up a solid foundation for Liverpool in coming years. Some youth players were grown up by Klopp in the last three seasons and they will help the club to save a lot of transfer money and play important role in Liverpool squad in next some seasons. This title is a first one for many young players in Liverpool and it can lit up their career in future as well.
