The opening sentence of this article is also the opening sentence of journalist David Hytner’s Wembley match report. Writing for The Guardian, Hytner was present at the very League Cup final that took place between the two teams three months ago, and once again Hytner must praise the psychological iron that helped Liverpool players win 2 championships in this year, as well as exclaiming the cruelty that Chelsea had to go through.

“The line between defeat and championship is so small that we hold our breath before every penalty kick. This is the series of 2 most memorable finals in the history of the confrontation between the two clubs: 4 hours of play, goalless and 2 penalty shootouts. And both times Chelsea lost, grimly by the line they stood on,” Hytner wrote.

“But there was something left in the atmosphere of the two teams before the match. With Chelsea, they were emotionally exhausted by the change of ownership of the club as well as the failure in the Champions League. With Liverpool, they are aiming for a historic treble no matter how difficult it is. So when the game had to be decided by one of the most extreme mental tests of mankind, Liverpool missed just 1 kick 11m out of 18 times. They are champions of nerves of steel.”

Speaking of the treble, the Daily Mail expressed its belief that although it is about to become impossible because of Man City’s advantage in the Premier League, a treble to Liverpool will be the most wonderful story in football. . Journalist Oliver Holt believes Liverpool can do it, and if it is a treble it will still be a historic season for them.

“As the last rays of spring lighted the top rows of Wembley, Kostas Tsimikas stepped on the spot to decide Liverpool’s FA Cup title. The dream of eating 4, Liverpool’s impossible and dying dream, has come back to life and found the light. Body bruised and physically exhausted, Liverpool held on to that dream for 120 minutes, then the rays of light made it come back,” Holt wrote.

“Perhaps Liverpool could become the first club to win three trophies in a season without scoring in the finals, but even with that they wouldn’t be surprised. This is one of the final football teams with steel spirit, even Mane after missing the penalty shootout can still laugh at the irony of having to face his close compatriot.

The Mirror commented that Chelsea’s loss of the championship trophy once again prevented them from getting the full end to Abramovich’s years of building the team. “The Abramovich era ends with Chelsea after this season and unfortunately no more trophies have been brought back. The Blues have always been built to be ready to conquer the arena, but the last 2 finals they carry the image of a force reaching the end of its life cycle, the vitality is there but not enough to cross the finish line. “.
