"Here was absolutely insane". Klopp shared his emotions after the victory over Chelsea

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp commented on his team's victory over Chelsea (1:0) in the final of the English League Cup.

"What happened here was absolutely insane, these things are not possible. The team, a squad, an academy full of character. I am so proud I could be part of that tonight. The craziest thing is we deserved it. We had lucky moments, they had lucky moments. The boys showed up, it was really cool.

Gravenberch injury? There were two teams fighting very hard, and the referee didn't have the level of the game. It was not even a foul?! Then the fourth official explaining we cannot give a card... good idea. This situation was obvious for me, everything you need for a card. They did an x-ray [on Gravenberch], it is not broken but the ligaments got something. I actually feel really bad, but everything else is really good.

On playing Southampton? We don't have a team right now for Wednesday. The guys who came on can maybe play again, the rest will get treatment on Monday. I love this country to bits, but the schedule is not made for winning a lot. We will see the price we have to pay, but we fight for everything then we see what comes next. Somehow against Southampton there will be a team in Liverpool shirts." said Klopp.

Liverpool has now won the English League Cup for the 10th time in its history, setting an absolute record for the tournament.

On Wednesday, February 28, the Reds will play against Southampton in the round of 16 of the FA Cup.
