Jurgen Klopp refused to kick Chelsea when they were down after his Liverpool side secured the Carabao Cup trophy.
The Merseysiders secured a hard-fought 1-0 victory over their opponents in extra-time at Wembley, courtesy of Virgil van Dijk’s headed winner.
Fabrizio Romano relayed comments from the manager in which he empathised with the Blues’ sixth consecutive domestic cup defeat.
✋🏼 Klopp on Chelsea: “I’m the one who knows what it’s like to lose five or six finals in a row… I can imagine how it was for Chelsea”.
“Everybody tells you: by the way, you lost the last five and that’s a new record. It’s not nice and I really felt for them”. pic.twitter.com/HB1zeRZmVD

We’ve faith that the setting at Liverpool is well-equipped enough to allow a new manager to come in and secure silverware after Klopp’s exit this summer.
In the meantime, though, we must savour every moment with our beloved German before June.
