Liverpool vs. Chelsea: penalties, plays by Luis Díaz, best incidents, summary and chronicle of the definition of the Carabao Cup from Wembley | COLOMBIA

Liverpool and Chelsea They gave us a real great match in the definition of the champion of the Carabao Cup. After two very even times and an extra stage with a lot of wear and tear, the ‘Reds’ lifted the title after winning on penalties. In this way, although it was changed in the second half, louis diaz he won his first title in England.

After disallowing four goals, one of the best 0-0 wins in recent years, an extra time and a penalty shootout with 22 shots, Liverpool were the last gladiator standing at Wembley and lifted their ninth League Cup after Kepa missed the last penalty of the shootout (0-0 (0-1)).

Once again Wembley was the scene of misfortune for Kepa, who here starred in one of the worst moments of his career in 2019, when he refused to be substituted in the final of this tournament, which he also lost in extra time. Football was unfair to the Spaniard, who came out to play the penalty shootout and after 21 shots, he missed the final, giving Liverpool their first cup since 2012.

The game was one of the best 0-0 in memory. Electric, with many alternatives and, above all, with too many failed occasions. For the two teams, who were stunned to see how, despite countless attempts, they were unable to unbalance the scoreboard.

The carousel of errors was started by Christian Pulisic, who crashed into Kelleher all alone after a great pass from César Azpilicueta. There the attacker made a mistake, quite the opposite of Liverpool’s response, when Edouard Mendy showed why he started ahead of Kepa Arrizabalaga.

The Senegalese cleared a shot from the edge of Naby Keita, the rejection was loose, Mané arrived with everything in his favor and the goalkeeper, in an effort from the ground, repelled the ball. Spectacular. One of the stops of the season.

Mendy’s save could have been even better if his teammates had been more accurate, especially Mason Mount, who had the next two occasions in his boots.

The English midfielder missed a volley at the edge of the area, very clear, and a one-on-one in front of Kelleher who shot the post. Surrealism and disbelief for Mount, who could not have had two better balls to overtake his team.

Chelsea left Liverpool alive and they celebrated the 0-1, temporarily. In an unnecessary foul by Marcos Alonso, Klopp’s board shone. Alexander-Arnold hung it at the far post, Mané only finished off a dive, and Matip, at the opposite post, pushed the ball. Liverpool’s celebration began and the VAR appeared, which, after a few minutes of doubt, decided to annul Virgil Van Dijk’s offside goal, who did not touch the ball, but with his movement caused the defender to chase him and not Mane. The Dutchman did not believe it.

With Salah very much missing, the ‘Red’ threat was Luis Díaz, who played a great game at Wembley and was able to crown it with a goal that Mendy took from him. The Senegalese goalkeeper withstood him one-on-one and cleared the Colombian’s shot attempt. Diaz was a catalyst for Liverpool’s momentum, coming much better down the stretch and forcing Mendy to pull off one miracle after another. The hand that took out a Van Dijk header in stoppage time was from another galaxy.

The madness was such that Chelsea almost won the final with a shot from Romelu Lukaku in the 95th minute. The Belgian had a goal disallowed in extra time and Havertz another, to confirm that this match was predestined to go to penalties. Tuchel, in the last minute of extra time, trusted Kepa Arrizabalaga, experts in batches, and removed Mendy.

The level of the match did not drop and the first twenty-one pitches were all inside. Kepa, who this season gave Chelsea victory in three penalty shootouts, one in the European Super Cup and two in this competition, was the villain. His penalty, number 22, went over the crossbar. Ninth League Cup for Liverpool, which stands out as the team with the most titles, one more than Manchester City.
