Jurgen Klopp urges fans to stay healthy amid the Covid-19 epidemic
Confronting Chelsea in the Carabao Cup final, Liverpool, despite their superiority in ball possession, could not break the opponent’s net even once during the official game time and 2 extra time. However, entering the penalty shootout, coach Jurgen Klopp’s students finally subdued the Blues with an 11-10 victory to win the title.
In fact, on the 11-meter mark, all players on both sides completed the task well and only in the goalkeeper’s shot, the championship was really decided. Although younger than Kepa Arrizabalaga, Caoimhin Kelleher showed coldness in the face-to-face situation. Meanwhile, the star that Thomas Tuchel launched into the field lacked composure and shot the ball over the crossbar, thereby causing Chelsea to lose the championship.

A free kick for Sadio Mane to head before Joel Matip hits Chelsea but in the end, the goal is disallowed by the referee.
