4. Chelsea 0-1 Liverpool, February 25th
Liverpool’s Carabao Cup triumph last season ensured that the departing Klopp had at least one trophy to lift in his final season at the club.
What made this piece of silverware additionally special, though, was the inexperienced personnel on the pitch, who injuries to first team regulars Mohamed Salah, Diogo Jota, Curtis Jones, Joel Matip, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Darwin Nunez forced Klopp to thrust into a cup final and who stepped up heroically.
No matter what the careers of Jarell Quansah, Bobby Clark, Jayden Danns and James McConnell hold for them, they will, in all probability, regard their roles in Liverpool’s victory over Chelsea in the final of the Carabao Cup as one of their finer achievements.
21 at the time, Quansah was the oldest of the four, who to this day have made under 35 collective appearances for Liverpool.
Klopp of course himself deserves his share of the credit as well for deploying them as effectively as he did. The League Cup may have been the only trophy of the four available he got his hands on in his last campaign, but the one last piece of silverware of the Klopp-era sure arrived in style.
