Goalscorer and captain Virgil van Dijk speaking to Sky Sports about what it means: "So much. All the young boys on the pitch, in extra time. It’s incredible, I’m so proud of the team.
“Intense game for both sides, they had chances we had chances. Amazing. First trophy as Liverpool captain, it’s all for the fans so let’s enjoy it.”
On the goal: “It’s emotion, it’s everything I am so proud of the boys. All of the young boys playing their part in what we achieved today it’s incredible and on to more.”
Asked if he is savouring it with Klopp as manager: "You should always savour the good moments, this is definitely one of them.
"Listen, we will never take things for granted and you see today it could have been the other was as well that we lost but we did a job, even with all the problems we have had before the game.
“I’m so proud, proud to be part of this club and especially proud of the boys.”
I’m furious at him, because after five minutes it was absolutely transparently obvious what Chelsea’s game was, and why Poch went big on pressuring the referee beforehand.
Gravenberch has a broken ankle as a direct result of Kavanagh encouraging Chelsea’s approach. The club should raise hell about this.
