In a tense showdown at Wembley Stadium, Chelsea suffered a 1-0 defeat against Liverpool in the Carabao Cup final. Despite a challenging season, Mauricio Pochettino had his sights set on clinching his first trophy as Chelsea's coach.
The match took a dramatic turn in the 118th minute when Virgil van Dijk scored a header from Konstantinos Tsimikas' corner, sparking jubilation among Liverpool supporters. Throughout the game, controversies arose, with VAR disallowing goals from Raheem Sterling and Van Dijk during regular time.
Amidst the intensity, Cody Gakpo and Conor Gallagher both struck the woodwork before the match progressed to extra time, leaving both managers on a rollercoaster of emotions on the touchline.
At the final whistle, Pochettino, visibly emotional, faced the disappointing walk to collect the runners-up medal, missing out on his maiden English football trophy. As he traversed the line of officials and dignitaries, Pochettino notably bypassed Todd Boehly, Chelsea's owner and chairman, leaving him seemingly ignored and red-faced.
