Liverpool clinched the silverware with a standout performance from Virgil van Dijk. Despite missing key players due to injuries, including Darwin Nunez and Dominik Szoboszlai, both made their presence felt in the celebrations.

Nunez, though not fit to play, joined the festivities from the stands, while Szoboszlai also couldn’t contain his excitement. Jurgen Klopp commented on their participation, stating he would discuss it with the medical department.

Fans playfully mocked Nunez for his energetic celebrations, joking about him joining the Grand National. The victory marked Liverpool’s 10th League Cup win and marked the beginning of Klopp’s farewell tour, who expressed this as the most special trophy in his 20-year career.

Despite injury challenges leading to a team with an average age below 22, Klopp commended the squad’s character and expressed immense pride in being part of such an extraordinary moment.
