  6. 'No worries, no regrets'published at 20:35 Greenwich Mean Time 27 February 2022

    Chelsea

    Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel talking to Sky Sports: "Football can be a brilliant game and it was a brilliant game, no worries and no regrets.

    "We gave everything and it was a brilliant match of football. The disallowed goal for Romelu is a very close call - there are bad feelings about this call.

    "You need a bit of luck, we scored three times, had big chances, they had big chances, It was a fair result all the way to have a draw.

    "We did it before with Kepa, he is slightly better in penalty saving and that is why I made the decision. It is unusual all 11 players need to shoot, he took it a bit too quick. Sometimes these things can turn against you but you make them when they need to be made, not after when people can judge you.

    "In the middle of the storm it is pretty calm. We can allow ourselves to focus on what we love the most, playing football. We know there are bigger things than football going on."

    On whether anything will change at the club with yesterday's ownership statement: "Very confident on a daily basis and how we handle things will not change."

  8. 'Never take playing for this club granted'published at 20:27 Greenwich Mean Time 27 February 2022

    Liverpool

    Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson talking to Sky Sports: "It was amazing, very special to win trophies at this football club. Always difficult when it goes to penalties.

    "We have used all the squad, academy, first team, all chipped in which makes it really special.

    "It is mad to think it was 10 years we won it. Today was really special, never take for granted playing for this club. The fans deserve it and hopefully it can give us a kick start for the rest of the season.

    "There are obviously bigger things going on in the world and I thought the two teams came together to show their support. It is frightening and hopefully we can all have peace."

  9. A tale of three keepers...published at 20:21 Greenwich Mean Time 27 February 2022

    The results are in from the player ratings provided by BBC Sport readers at the bottom of the match report.

    Liverpool keeper Caoimhin Kelleher was your man of the match with an average rating of 8.51.

    Edouard Mendy was Chelsea's highest rated player with 7.16.

    And I knew who was going to be bottom before I even scrolled down - Kepa (3.3).

    FT: Chelsea 0-0 Liverpool (10-11 on pens)

    Liverpool

    Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk speaking to Sky Sports: "Very special. There was a lot of hard work, what we expected before the game. A lot of calm nerves. It was an intense game and offside goals were also a thing and that rule of just keeping playing on until whenever is annoying.

    "It is something we have to consider taking out for next season. Unnecessary metres and challenges come from it.

    "The penalties overall were all quite good apart from the last one.

    "I told the ref I don’t understand. I wasn’t even participating in the moment, the ball went over my head and I did not even go for the ball. It is a game of challenges and you are allowed to block a move. I think we saw it when Manchester United played away at Burnley there was a similar thing that was also disallowed and I don’t understand it.

    "We are matured and been through quite a lot over the last two seasons, injuries, the way we play or additions we have made.

    "Thiago could not start today but Naby [Keita] came in the last second of the warm up and was outstanding. We are playing with a lot of confidence."

    Liverpool

    More from Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp speaking to Sky Sports: "I'm fine now but I would have been fine with 90 minutes and 1-0 to Liverpool and we go home. I am happy for the people in dark times to celebrate something like this.

    "We have to work hard. We play on Wednesday again, which I cannot believe now. We will give it a try. It is a home game and it will be rocking because of tonight."

  14. 'There is space for sentiment'published at 20:02 Greenwich Mean Time 27 February 2022

    Liverpool

    Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp talking to Sky Sports: "Even in professional football there should be space for some sentiment. Caoimhin Kelleher is a young boy, plays in all the competition, what do I do? I am two things, a professional manager and a human being and the human being won. He deserves it.

    "At the training centre we have a wall that all goalkeepers are on who won something and Caoimhin can go on it - that's how it should be - absolutely great.

    "I am happy for the people to celebrate something like this. Chelsea are incredibly strong, we matched each other.

    "That is the start, we are not silly. We need to have luck - we had luck, that could have been 5-5."

    This will push Chelsea on. They are miles out of the league conversation; they've still got the FA Cup and Champions League, that'll be their main focus now.
