This time, the Reds were helped by Chelsea midfielder Mason Mason’s penalty being saved before left back Konstantinos Tsimikas clinched the shootout win with his first-ever goal for the club.

In two weeks, Liverpool will be hoping to collect another trophy by beating Real Madrid in the Champions League final.

Before then, Klopp has to hope Manchester City slips up in the final two rounds of the English Premier League and Liverpool takes advantage to regain that trophy.

Liverpool are poised to face potential league champions Manchester City in the FA Community Shield on July 31 being the curtain easier of the 2022-2023 Premier League season.
