Liverpool FC hosted Chelsea FC in London's renowned Wembley Stadium. The grand final had nearly 89,000 spectators, setting the opportunity for both coaches to tell their individual experiences with fairness.

It was a fitting departure for Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool's most successful coach and a revered character who will be departing the club at the end of the season, while Mauricio Pochettiono was looking for his first managerial trophy.

Since Jurgen will be leaving the club in the hands of promising youngsters for the next ten years, he wanted to give his young guys a taste of pressure and iconic moments. The game saw a masterclass from both keepers. Liverpool fielded a very youthful and inexperienced squad.

Virgil Van Dijk scored the winning goal from Konstantinos Tsimikas' corner to avoid a goalless draw and penalties.

Chelsea will only look back with regret, and manager Mauricio Pochettino will still have to wait to win his first trophy in England.
