At Liverpool FC, the big hit is still possible. After winning the EFL Cup, Jürgen Klopp’s team is not only in the FA Cup and Champions League final. She can also win the Premier League. The title in the league is now rather unlikely. Manchester City are missing three points and seven goals. The Reds still have the cup triple in their own hands. Today, trophy two out of three is to be raised.

There, all shooters converted, except for Kepa, who came on especially for the penalty shootout. The Reds won 11-10. Today Thomas Tuchel is hoping for a happier ending for his team.
