German coach Jurgen Klopp, the coach of Liverpool after his team won the FA Cup, had only words of praise for both his own and the Chelsea players.
“It simply came to our notice then. It was an extraordinary and very intense match. And they deserved the victory, as in the League Cup final, that’s how small the difference between the teams is, “said Klopp.
“I am very proud of the guys, how much effort they put in, how they managed to regroup after the early changes. I think Virgil van Dyke is fine, but he hurt a muscle. All those things, missed opportunities, Chelsea chances, really great moments for us,” added the Liverpool coach.
The German coach emphasized that he sympathizes with Chelsea.
“I had to get nervous when taking penalties. I sympathize a lot with Chelsea, the second time you play 120 minutes, but in the end you don’t get anything. But I am extremely happy for us. We are the monsters of psychology, but the Blues were the same monsters. Everything was decided by just one penalty. Chelsea have shown an outstanding game, but there is only one winner. Today it was us, “Klopp pointed out.
