9 wins, the most in history
A penalty shoot-out with the ball up to the goalkeeper. 22 players took part in a penalty shoot-out, the most among English football clubs, and Liverpool beat Chelsea 11-10.
Liverpool and Chelsea went into a penalty shoot-out in the English Football League Cup (Carabao Cup) final held at Wembley Stadium in London, England on the morning of the 28th (Korean time) without a score 0-0 until extra time. And the record was written.
All 10 field players from both teams took a penalty shoot-out to make it 10-10, and now it’s the goalkeeper’s turn. Liverpool goalkeeper Quimin Kelecher first shook the net with a right-footed shot, making it 11-10. Chelsea’s last kicker and goalkeeper, Kepa Arizabalaga, was so nervous that his right-footed ball went wide over the post. Chelsea replaced the goalkeeper from Edouard Mendy to Arisabalaga in the 14th minute of extra time, but it was a ‘handshake’.
Liverpool reached the top of the Carabao Cup for the first time in 10 years, and increased the number of their career wins to nine, beating Manchester City (8) to take the top spot in this category. Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp bore his tenth trophy (5 times Dortmund and 5 times Liverpool).
Chelsea is owned by Russian Roman Abramovich. Currently, in the UK, there is a growing voice that the owner of Abramovich should also be subject to sanctions due to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Abramovich is very close to Russian President Vladimir Putin. Abramović, who acquired Chelsea club in 2003, announced on the 26th that they would hand over the management and management rights of Chelsea to a public interest foundation, conscious of public opinion in the UK.
