The most special trophy I ever won: Klopp praises Liverpool after Carabao Cup victory video | Football

An understrength Liverpool beat Chelsea 1-0 to win the Carabao Cup at Wembley Stadium, with Virgil van Dijk heading in the winner with just two minutes left in extra time. Jürgen Klopp’s side secured the victory without 10 first-team players; Mohamed Salah, Darwin Nunez, Diogo Jota, Curtis Jones, Dominik Szoboszlai, Joel Matip, Thiago, Alisson and vice-captain Trent Alexander-Arnold. Their places were filled instead by academy players who showed their strength on the pitch. Klopp called the trophy ‘the most special’ he had ever won in his career and described the game as something ‘no one will ever forget’.
