Liverpool boss says he 'could not be more proud' after beating Chelsea at the FA Cup final
The Reds replicated their shootout win over Chelsea in the Carabao Cup final by triumphing 6-5 on spot-kicks after a goalless 90 minutes and extra time.
Klopp, 54, became the first German manager ever to lift the FA Cup after edging out compatriot Thomas Tuchel in a Wembley final for the second time in less than three months.
In February's final, the shootout went to sudden death, with Alisson's save from Mason Mount handing Liverpool the advantage before Konstantinos Tsimikas slotted home the winning penalty.
"It was intense - Chelsea would have deserved it the same way we did, just like in the Carabao Cup - that's how small the margins are," added Klopp.
"Chelsea played outstanding but in the end there must be one winner and that was us today."
The dramatic win kept alive Liverpool's slim quadruple hopes - although the Premier League title may well elude them - with two games left, they trail leaders Manchester City by three points and have a goal difference that is inferior by seven.
