yourgen club Team manager Liverpool Received dissatisfaction with judging standards Chris Kavanagh The 2024 Carabao Cup Final referee, despite Liverpool eventually beating Chelsea 1-0 in extra time.
“There are two teams fighting fiercely. But the referees are not on the same level of the game. It is what it is.”
“I'm sorry it had to be like that. I knew they would make a story out of it. But it wasn't even a foul? He didn't even blow the whistle for the foul.”
“Then the fourth official explained to me: 'We can't give a yellow card because it's blah blah. 'Oh, what a great idea. They're kids like… I'm not sure if it's too much or too fast for them. But it's clear.'
“The medical team came to see me and saw a scramble in my ankle. That's all you need to get a red card.”
The moment that happened was the shot with which Moises Caicedo trampled Ryan Grafenberg so that he could not continue playing. But it appears that the Chelsea midfielder did not even receive a yellow card.
Liverpool also had a goal confiscated from VAR, as Virgil van Dijk's headed goal was ruled offside, but Van Dijk made up for it by scoring the winner. The tournament took the lead after 118 minutes of extra time.
