Manuel Pellegrini will now leave Manchester City with a trophy under his belt. “We are not giving up on the Premier League or the Champions League”. With Mignolet already committed, all he had to do was stroke the ball into the Liverpool net.
For Liverpool, none of that mattered in the end; the club had never lost a shoot-out in a final before.
In the 83rd minute, Philippe Coutinho equalized for the Reds, after he tucked away an Adam Lallana rebounded shot that went off the post.
Bizarrely, when Mignolet watches the match analysis back, he will also be able to recognise some positives as he did make two or three excellent saves, including two from City’s dangerman Sergio Aguero to keep his team in the game.
“We tried everything. I can be proud of a lot of things but to be honest I expect we can do these things, so it’s not easy to be proud of things you think is normal”, the German concluded.
Manchester City’s Belgian defender Vincent Kompany (C) holds up the League Cup during the presentation after winning the English League Cup final football match between Liverpool and Manchester City at Wembley Stadium in London on February 28, 2016.
“In the second half, we conceded an early goal and were not too lucky”, the manager said.
Liverpool will give a late check to Mamadou Sakho who sustained a head injury at Wembley, while Martin Skrtel and Joe Allen (both hamstring) remain out and Dejan Lovren (illness) is still a doubt. City, who are fourth in the league nine points adrift of leaders Leicester City with a game in hand, visit ninth-placed Liverpool tomorrow. “We will bring the best line up we can”. On the other side, the other team played their first choice.
Next up for City is Liverpool again in a league fixture on Wednesday. Do you think I will now go home, close the door and stay there for the next four weeks?

Klopp went on to add that he may have to make further changes to the squad, with his charges still recovering from the two-hour clash in the League Cup final.
