The Reds, again and again. Liverpool won the FA Cup final on Saturday May 14 by beating Chelsea on penalties (0-0, 6-5 on penalties). The defender Costas Tsimikas scored the winning shot on goal. Jürgen Klopp’s team thus achieves the second part of a possible historic quadruple.

Winner of the League Cup, already against the Blues and already on penalties, Liverpool still has a small chance of winning the English championship, despite their points behind Manchester City two days from the end. Above all, the Reds will play the Champions League final on May 28 at the Stade de France against Real Madrid.

Despite the joy of victory, Jürgen Klopp knows, however, that all is not rosy. Liverpool have thus lost two important players, striker Mohamed Salah and defender Virgil van Dijk. In the first half, the Egyptian, who seemed to complain of adductors or thigh, was treated for a few moments on the lawn before leaving without limping, when we had just started the 33rd minute of play. hasWhen the Reds went into extra time against the Londoners, Joel Matip returned to the pitch in place of Dutchman van Dijk.
