After a 0-0 draw for 120 minutes, the winner was decided on a penalty shootout. In the tostosan round, Liverpool had the lead.
Cesar Azpilicueta’s failure made Liverpool lead 4-3 from Chelsea. However, the Reds were finally chased after Sadio Mane failed to hit the penalty ball.

After the match, the spotlight was on Sadio Mane, who missed a penalty. Klopp’s manager then defended him.
“Sadio’s penalty is 50 per cent my responsibility. I told him the goalkeeper knows exactly what you usually do, so do the opposite. How often in my life is it better to be silent!” said Klopp, half jokingly, as reported by the Daily Mail.
“But we still made it after an amazing game. We worked with a neuroscience company (neruo11) who said they can actually train penalty shooting. This trophy is for them too,” he said.
