Revisiting Jurgen Klopp’s all 6 previous cup final defeats

#3 Manchester City 1-1 Liverpool (3-1 on penalties; EFL Cup final, 2016)

Coutinho equalised late on but missed a penalty in the shootouts as Klopp lost his first final with the Reds

Another Wembley final, against another opponent, and yet another heartbreak: it was all starting to get monotonous for Ze German.

Barely four months into his Liverpool tenure, Klopp had a chance to make an early statement and also strike a chord with the Kopites with an EFL final victory, but a laborious effort from the Reds saw Philippe Coutinho cancel out Fernandinho’s opener only in the dying embers.

There was no clear blue water between the sides in the extra-time, and a penalty shootout beckoned, which Liverpool contrived to lose 3-1.

Coutinho, along with Adam Lallana and Lucas Leiva, all missed their spot kicks in consecutive turns as Klopp’s first final as the Liverpool manager ended with a deja vu feeling.
