The London team "Chelsea" experiencing a poor season had a chance on Sunday to slightly brighten up the mood of their fans in the English League Cup final, but in the end, the "aristocrats" fell to the footballers of "Liverpool" in the closing moments of extra time.
After the defeat, Chelsea coach Mauricio Pochettino regretted the missed opportunities and insisted that his team could have won the match in regular time.
"We created four, five, or even six great chances to score, but we didn't take advantage of them. The team that scores first in the final always has a huge advantage.
We conceded a goal right at the end of extra time and then we didn't have time to react. That's the life of a professional player - sometimes you have to experience such painful situations.
The players are very disappointed because we were very close to victory in regular time.
Despite the defeat, we must take away some positives. Such matches should help us take another step forward.
We were in the fight, but winning such matches without scoring goals is extremely difficult. We just have to congratulate the team of "Liverpool" and move forward.
