Yes, it must be admitted that last night Chelsea were a little unlucky, Conor Gallagher failed to score 3 golden opportunities to score even though 90% of them could have been goals, but Liverpool goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher's brilliant performance was able to ward them off. .
Apart from Chelsea's lack of luck, we all have to acknowledge the greatness of Liverpool who appeared without many core players and only relied on second-string players, but Liverpool performed extraordinary.
For Chelsea this season, I don't think we need to talk about winning, but how Chelsea must improve its performance so that next season it can compete for the EFL title, FA Cup and of course the EFL Cup.
After both teams scored, that were canceled and no more goals were seen. But late on Van Dijk proved again that he is the top goalscorer in the match in the end, his goal 118th minute gave Liverpool the title again. We saw them face each other in the final two years ago, where there was no goal in the allotted 90 minutes and the victory was decided by Tiebreaker. It was almost the same situation this time too, but Van Dijk eventually changed the situation. On the one hand, Liverpool set a record, on the other hand, a shadow of frustration fell among Chelsea fans. It's a joy for Jurgen Klopp. With this victory, Liverpool achieved 10 wins in the Carabao Cup.
It was the best final of the season between Chelsea and Liverpool. Chelsea were not favorites from the start because Liverpool's performance tended to be considered better and had a big chance of winning the match easily. In reality, Chelsea was able to keep up with Liverpool's game and made them have to try hard to score goals. Chelsea had opportunities throughout the match, but they were just unlucky because the final finish was not good.
I saw the disappointment on the faces of the players and coaches after the game ended, that's normal when you lose. However, what needs to be regretted is not the defeat, they should regret it when they failed to maximize their opportunities when Liverpool did not appear with their main squad. Liverpool won because Chelsea looked tired at the end of the game, but I think Chelsea were good enough throughout the game.
