Winner of the League Cup on Sunday with Liverpool against Chelsea (1-0, ap), Jürgen Klopp made a strong statement regarding this trophy.
Since joining Liverpool FC in October 2015, Jürgen Klopp has won almost everything. A Premier League title (2020), a Champions League (2019), but also an FA Cup (2022) or even two League Cups (2022 and 2024). And it is precisely this last competition that he has just won on Sunday with his Reds at the expense of Chelsea (1-0, ap), which particularly affected him. After the meeting, the German had strong words.
And almost surprising. More than his coronations in the championship and the Champions League, it is obviously this second League Cup won with Liverpool which seems to have marked him more than anything else. He explained why in a post-match press conference. “ In my twenty-plus year coaching career, this is easily the most special trophy I have won. It’s simply exceptional. I was proud of our academy, proud of my coaches and so many things. I was thinking, ‘oh my God, what’s happening?’ It was really upsetting. »
“I have never heard such a story”
For the tactician, however, this feeling had “no nothing to do with what could be (his) possible last match at Wembley, but more to do with the fact that everyone participated » to this success. And Jürgen Klopp continued: “ See the kids’ faces after the game, Jayden Danns. Can you create stories in football that no one will ever forget? It’s so complicated because it’s happened before, they won this, they won that. What happened today, if you find the same story with the academy players playing against a very, very, very good team and still winning? I have never heard such a story. »
To hear him say it, Jürgen Klopp experienced the greatest final victory of his coaching career this Sunday. And he could experience even more this season, since Liverpool is still in the race in the Europa League, but also in the Premier League and the FA Cup. The dreams of a completely crazy final quadruple, before leaving Liverpool next June, are still there.
