Easily the most sentimental award I’ve ever received: Jurgen Klopp following his Carabao Cup victory. After winning the 2023–24 Carabao Cup, Liverpool head coach Jurgen Klopp was ecstatic and referred to it as the most special trophy he had ever held.
On Sunday, February 25, Liverpool defeated Chelsea 1-0 at the Wembley Stadium in London to win the Carabao Cup.
In the Carabao Cup final, Liverpool defeated Chelsea thanks to a goal from captain Virgil Van Dijk in extra time. Before Van Dijk’s header from a Konstantinos Tsimikas corner in the 118th minute, both teams had goals disallowed by VAR for off-side. 
Speaking following Liverpool’s victory in the Carabao Cup, Klopp insisted that this team’s accomplishments will live on in history and that it was unquestionably the most memorable trophy he had ever won.
At the end of the game, the Reds had 18-year-old Jayden Danns on the field along with 19-year-olds Bobby Clark and James McConnell.
You don’t win prizes with kids, I was informed outside. Write it from scratch. Having been a manager for over 20 years, this trophy is the most memorable I have ever received.
I wish I could be proud of things more often, but today I was proud of everything,” Klopp remarked. “Sometimes people ask me if I am proud of this or that.

He continued by saying that he would never forget this evening and that they had to win the championship game despite dealing with issues earlier in the day.
Due to injury, Darwin Nunez, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Mohamed Salah, Dominik Szoboszlai, and Diogo Jota were unable to play for Liverpool against Chelsea going into the championship game.
“This was very unique. You observed the situation—we were having issues before to the game. As the game went on, they grew larger.
I will always remember this evening, and it won’t bother me if others don’t feel the same way. It will always be a very pleasant memory for me,” Klopp continued.
