(VIDEO) Klopp's gesture to referee Kavanagh for his dismal work in the final

"It was my most special title," said Klopp, aware of the difficulty of a trophy they won with eleven first team players injured and after extra time at Wembley. The Anfield side kicked off the final stretch of the season at the English stadium, the time of the season when titles start to be decided, and they did so in a critical situation, with half the squad in the infirmary, but with the motivation and momentum of being in the last four months of Klopp's tenure at Anfield.

The outlook, despite the first good omen, is complicated. The calendar does not give respite, as Klopp explained after the victory: "I love this country, but the calendar is made for not winning many titles".

With no time to rest or celebrate, Liverpool are back in action on Wednesday in the FA Cup against Southampton. "Right now, we don't have the team for it," said the German manager, who had to field five players under the age of 20 against Chelsea, with an average age of 22 in the squad.

Klopp's rant

During the celebrations, the television broadcast captured the moment when Jurgen Klopp approached to greet the refereeing staff, among them was Chris Kavanagh, who had a bad performance and allowed the injury to Ryan Gravenberch for a hard foul by Moises Caicedo and did not send him off. For this, Klopp did not shake Kavanagh's hand in something that went viral.
