It was Manuel Pellegrini's turn to deny Klopp another Cup final victory in 2016 when Klopp's Liverpool lost to the former's Manchester City side in the League Cup final.

Liverpool had clawed their way back into the game after trailing for most of the second half to a Fernadinho goal. An 83rd-minute equalizer from Coutinho after Adam Lallana's initial shot came off the post eventually led to extra time and penalty shootouts. Liverpool were reasonably confident going into the shootouts, having seen off Carlisle United and Stoke City in the same format.

They began well, with Emre Can slotting the ball past Willy Caballero and Simon Mignolet denying Fernandinho to give Liverpool the lead. But they proceeded to miss all their remaining spot-kicks while Jesus Navas, Sergio Aguero and Yaya Toure all stepped up to score for City, handing Klopp a loss in his first final in England.
