Renowned football star Mohamed Aboutrika, a former player for Al-Ahly Club and the Egyptian national team, ridiculed Chelsea this Sunday evening after their loss to Liverpool in the English League Cup final, criticizing the match’s refereeing team.
Aboutrika: “Chelsea Faced Liverpool’s Kids Today… And VAR Saw Nothing”
Speaking during the analysis studio session for the Liverpool vs. Chelsea match on the Qatari channel “beIN Sports,” Aboutrika stated, “Klopp, start thinking again because I will miss you. Jurgen, rejoice because you are irreplaceable.
Today, you defeated Chelsea with Liverpool’s kids who came carrying sandwiches, and tomorrow they will be attending school.”
He continued, “Enjoy and celebrate today, Dans because tomorrow you’ll be running a school.
VAR today was very generous to Chelsea.
Caicedo’s tackle deserved a clear and direct red card. The player was carried out on a stretcher, and yet the VAR referee saw nothing.
Pochettino squandered an easy win against Liverpool’s kids before they went to school.”
He concluded, “If Chelsea had won the championship, VAR would have received three medals.
They would have added medals for the VAR referees today; their eyes were completely shut.”
Liverpool clinched the English League Cup title for the tenth time in their history after defeating Chelsea 1-0 after extra time.
The two teams clashed at the iconic Wembley Stadium in the final round of the 2024 Carabao Cup competition.
Dutch defender Virgil van Dijk scored Liverpool’s winning goal in the 118th minute with a powerful header from a precise cross by Tsimikas.
With this result, Liverpool extended their lead over Manchester City, who have won the title eight times.
