Liverpool win the League Cup final as Kepa misses the crucial penalty!

What delicious irony this is: Kepa, the man who refused to come off for the penalties when Sari ordered him off a few years ago, was brought on this time for those penalties, but then the series goes all the way to the 22d penalty and he's the one who misses his!

Not a great game as such, and it's only the League Cup, but that was pretty amazing to watch all the same!

Liverpool 0 - Chelsea 0. Liverpool win 11-10 on penalties.

Asked him if I should be pulling for Liverpool. He is torn. He hates Abramovich and Putin but loves his team.

Mendy was awesome but in the end I'm quite happy to see Liverpool win the first trophy of the season.

Chances on both sides, and some unfortunate VAR decisions, IMO. Happy for Liverpool, but would not have begrudged Chelsea and Tuchel either.
