In a Wembley stadium filled with 84,897 spectators and in the presence of Prince William who also came to attend the final of the FA Cup, the oldest competition in England, the two last finalists of the Carabao Cup last February faced each other again this Saturday, May 14, 2022, with the objective of winning a new title. Chelsea, with already 8 trophies in this competition, wanted to increase their repertoire with a ninth, and Liverpool, with 7 trophies, wanted to have an eighth.
The match was very rhythmic during the 90 minutes of the match, but no goal was scored despite the good attempts of the Colombian Luis Diaz, who made the Chelsea defenders see all the colors on his right flank, but always inaccurate in the last moves. He was the best player of the match.
The Blues and the Reds gave a very good performance until the time of extra time, although the nets never shook. They had to go to the penalty shootout as it was the case in the Carabao Cup final last February when the Reds won it, on penalties (11-10). The same scenario happened this Saturday, May 14, at Wembley Stadium in London, where the Liverpudlians won again in the same phase, but this time (6-5). After the failures of Cesar Azpilicueta and Mason Mount, then Sadio Mané for the Reds. The two goalkeepers (Alisson and Mendy), were noticed in the fateful sessions by their performance.
Chelsea, which has already won two titles for the season (European Super Cup and Club World Cup) and failed for the second time in a row in the final this season against Liverpool, each time on penalties, is already thinking about the next season. While Liverpool, which has just lifted its second trophy of the season, still believes in the title of the Premier League watching the slightest slip of the citizens to pocket the trophy, waiting for the final of the Ldc next May 28
