Liverpool claimed the Carabao Cup in a dramatic final against Chelsea at Wembley, handing manager Jurgen Klopp a victorious farewell. Despite missing key players like Darwin Nunez and Mohamed Salah, and suffering an early injury to Ryan Gravenberch, the Reds persevered. Although Raheem Sterling had a goal disallowed for offside and Virgil van Dijk’s free-kick goal was also canceled out by VAR, Liverpool found their breakthrough. Fresh substitutes provided crucial energy in extra time, ultimately setting up Kostas Tsimikas’s corner for captain Virgil van Dijk to head home the winning goal.
