Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino was disappointed that his team couldn’t win the Carabao Cup final match against Liverpool on Sunday evening.
Raheem Sterling’s goal was disallowed for being offside in the first half. Conor Gallagher also hit the post and missed several other opportunities.
This means Pochettino has not won any trophies in English football, as he also lost in the League Cup final when he was managing Tottenham in 2014–15.
“We lost in the last minute of the game, and it’s so painful,” he admitted. “Now, we only need to take the positive things. We want to keep going. We want to use this type of game to learn and be better and only be positive.
“We really competed. In some periods of the game, I think we deserved more, but if you do not score with the chances that we have, I think maybe five or six big chances, it’s difficult to win the final.
“I think we didn’t have the energy. We had to suffer a little bit and I think it’s normal. We cannot refresh the midfield and of course, it’s true that we were waiting for the penalties, because the effort, it was massive.
“Now we can talk about many things, but when you lose it’s so painful. We need to keep going, keep moving. On Wednesday, we have another game.”
