Chelsea’s failed hat-trick after losing to Liverpool

DBasia.news – The Blues recorded a failed hat-trick after losing against Liverpool in the 2021-2022 FA Cup final, at Wembley Stadium, Saturday (14/5). With the winning score of 6-5 in the shootout.

In fact, the fight went equally strong. The two teams traded attacks against each other. Although, the Reds were superior in terms of the number of chances and possession of the ball.

However, until normal time ended, no goals were created. Meanwhile, in extra time, both teams met a deadlock again.

Finally, like this season’s Premier League Cup final, the winner must be decided on penalties.

It was at this phase that Liverpool’s winning mentality was more visible. Only Sadio Mane failed from Liverpool’s stronghold. Meanwhile, Cesar Azpilicueta and Mason Mount are two convicts from the Blues’ side. Finally, Liverpool became champions after winning 6-5 on penalties.

These results add to Chelsea’s dark record in the FA Cup as this is Chelsea’s third successive failure in the FA Cup final. Chelsea followed in the footsteps of Newcastle United.

In the previous two final episodes, Chelsea lost to Arsenal (2019-2020) and Leicester City (2020-2021). As a result, Chelsea went through this season without winning a trophy.

Meanwhile, this is the second title for Liverpool in the 2021-2022 season. The Reds maintain the opportunity to reach the quadruple with two matches remaining, namely the Champions League and Premier League.
