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.

Liverpool managed to win their first trophy this season after beating Chelsea in extra time, even though they appeared with second-string players, they managed to win the EFL Cup trophy after finishing the match with a narrow 1-0 win. Klopp is not experimenting in this final match, nor is he underestimating Chelsea strength, due to injuries to many of his core players, Klopp has to use players who have often warmed up the bench. This time Van Dijk became the hero of victory for Liverpool, he who operated in the defensive area was able to change the score which made it even more difficult for Chelsea to win the trophy this season.

This success has made Liverpool even more obsessed with adding titles this season. They still have the opportunity to win the EPL, FA Cup and Europa League titles. Klopp will try to add to the title that his team might win as a very beautiful farewell when the season has ended.

Liverpool wants to end the final year with coach Jurgen Klopp with a quadruple. They are holding the top of the Premier League table, entering the fourth round of the FA Cup, and participating in the 1/8 round of the Europa League. Liverpool entered the final with a patchwork squad of players who were not regular starters. Coach Jurgen Klopp lost many pillars due to injury, such as Mohamed Salah, Darwin Nunez, and Diogo Jota in attack. However, Liverpool still proved their strength when they had a better position. Entering extra time, Liverpool played better thanks to the players' youth. Van Dijk is the rare experienced player left in the Liverpool squad and did not disappoint the fans.
Anyway, coach Mauricio Pochettino's team plays quite well in counter-attacking defense. They have sharp moves on the ball. But his strikers continuously squandered opportunities and were unlucky. Perhaps Pochettino's young squad needs more experience in big matches.
