Liverpool had to go the distance again vs Chelsea, but the result was the same for Jürgen Klopp's side: yet another iconic moment for captain Jordan ...

The revelry continued down on the pitch — even if the BBC and ITV seemed determined to make it hard to watch, with the respective delights of Eurovision and an advert break awaiting. At the end of it all, the skipper gave Liverpool fans exactly what they had hoped for when making the journey down to the capital: another rendition of the now-iconic ‘shuffle’ trophy lift. Having been thwarted in the FA Cup once before, more than three years before his current manager’s arrival, he has now won every trophy on offer — and won them all as captain, with a signature move to boot.

10 amazing pictures as Liverpool win FA Cup against Chelsea (Liverpool Echo)

Liverpool beat Chelsea on penalties to win the FA Cup on Saturday and there were many memorable moments captured on film inside Wembley Stadium.

While there was a lot to capture and take away from a fabulous afternoon in London, some photos stood out more than others. It was a close match, with Jurgen Klopp's side hitting the woodwork multiple times throughout the course of the 90 minutes. Like in February, it was Jurgen Klopp's side who emerged victorious after Mason Mount's spot-kick was saved by goalkeeper Alisson.

Wild scenes as Liverpool triumph in Cup final (Wide World of Sports)

Add the FA Cup to the collection. Jürgen Klopp has now won every major title for Liverpool.

After the teams converted another round of penalties, Mount was thwarted and Tsimikas produced his biggest moment since joining Liverpool in 2020. "Tomorrow is another day and we still have a lot to do." There were 58 shots produced by the teams without finding the net over their two games at Wembley in 2022. The goalkeeper recovered but it wasn't long before Mohamed Salah went down. This is a fantastic moment and now we just need to enjoy it." This time, the Reds were helped by Chelsea midfielder Mason Mason's penalty being saved before Konstantinos Tsimikas clinched the shootout win with his first-ever goal for the club.

Liverpool 0-0 Chelsea (6-5 pens): Player Ratings (This Is Anfield)

It was dramatic and it was tense but Liverpool got the job done with yet another penalty shootout, holding their nerve against Chelsea to win 6-5 on ...

Offered plenty of assistance running the opposite direction while exploiting the half-spaces with the chance to then turn at the other – his touch and final decision-making letting him down at times. As part of a midfield trio starting together for the first time, Thiago shone. Joel Matip (on for Van Dijk, 91′) – 8 – Not easy to step into a pressurised situation at the start of extra-time, but Matip took it in his stride. Hopefully, it was only cramp at the death. Not to worry. Fingers crossed all will be well.

Even after playing every single possible match to this point (the Champions League final will be number 63) and winning every trophy there is to win, Liverpool are still going. "I played on but in the end, I can’t risk it for the team and I need to trust Joël [ Matip]. Hopefully, it will be fine." Kostas Tsimikas, the matchwinner, replaced Andy Robertson, but that appeared only to be tiredness.

Five things spotted as Kostas Tsimikas and Alisson win Liverpool ... (Liverpool.com)

Liverpool beat Chelsea on penalties in the FA Cup final as Alisson Becker, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Sadio Mané and Luis Díaz all impressed.

Milner showed levels of intensity that someone turning 37 on his next birthday should not be able to in the Wembley heat. Apart from that, he was exceptional, up to and including the penalty shoot-out. Romelu Lukaku is a completely different type of player — equally as hard to play against at his peak — but Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konaté largely stood strong. This time, the team in yellow could not stop him from dominating. At some point, the goals will start to flow. Here are the five things Liverpool.com spotted at Wembley as the game unfolded.

We thought we deserved it and were ready to take it and unfortunately we couldn’t. They have built their team over many years and the sanctions haven’t made it any easier to close it (the gap).” They (Liverpool) deserved it as we deserved it as well, and again we lose on penalties.

While Thiago scored his penalty before Kostas Tsimikas sealed the win, Sadio Mane had already missed a golden opportunity to clinch the FA Cup after stepping up for what would have been the winning spot-kick. “Sadio’s penalty is, for sure at least 50% my responsibility,” he said. “He said, “You taught me running!”

With that win, attention almost immediately turns to the next time Liverpool could be placed in a similar situation - the Champions League final later this month. Given Klopp's brief team talk finished long before Tuchel's, the Liverpool players were able to choose which side of the pitch they formed a line-up on. While that was going on, Klopp was even spotted sharing a laugh with Virgil van Dijk who was withdrawn before the shoot-out.

Liverpool make immediate Anfield change after FA Cup win over ... (Liverpool Echo)

Liverpool have updated the Champions Wall at Anfield after their FA Cup final victory over Chelsea.

They will be hoping to have the iconic wall updated again over the next few weeks as Liverpool continue their quest for an unprecedented quadruple. In Paris on 28 May, Jurgen Klopp’s side will hope to win their seventh European cup, while if they can overhaul Manchester City in the league, it will be Liverpool 20th English top division league title. Saturday’s triumph was Liverpool’s eighth FA Cup title but their first since 2006 when Steven Gerrard inspired the Reds to a penalty shootout victory over West Ham at the Millennium Stadium. Liverpool have won the competition in 1964/65, 1973/74, 1985/86, 1988/89, 1991/92, 2000/01, 2005/06 and now 2021/22.

Liverpool have new priority signing as Jürgen Klopp has prepared ... (Liverpool.com)

Liverpool fan Adam Zand from LFC Boston gives us his take on all the latest Reds talking points ahead of the FA Cup final against Chelsea at Wembley.

We're sure fans in Senegal feel the same as he excelled for club and country. Fab is a loss for sure, but a midfield rotation with Naby Keïta, Jordan Henderson and Thiago Alcântara has prepared them for this injury. We still hold hope that this great season will come down to the last match.

Thiago has learned new Liverpool trait as admission sheds light on ... (Liverpool.com)

“I said to Thiago, 'if I'd have known what a player you are, I would have signed you years earlier',” Klopp revealed in his post-match press conference.

Thiago is among the most decorated active players in the game, but though he has achieved everything at club level, his appetite would appear to be as strong as ever. As for Klopp, extracting even more from top players, whilst retaining the essence of what makes them great, is a marker of a world-class coach. He’s expected to hunt the ball much more aggressively than he did under Niko Kovač and Hansi Flick. It’s worth noting that this is about in line with the rest of Liverpool’s key midfielders. Well, he actually appears to be covering a reduced overall distance in games. Thiago Alcântara has now won 30 major trophies in a glittering career, and yet he may have been savouring Liverpool’s FA Cup triumph on Saturday more than most.
