Gary Neville called Chelsea “blue billion-pound bottlejobs” after Liverpool, beset by injuries, defeated them in the Carabao Cup final.
Even though they were already without Trent-Alexander Arnold, Mo Salah, and Darwin Nunez, Liverpool managed to win the championship despite having several young players on the field, including Bobby Clark, James McConnell all of whom were 19 years old, and Harvey Elliott (20) and Jarell Quansah (21). In defense, Conor Bradley (20) had opened the match.
Since assuming leadership of the team in the summer of 2022, Todd Boehly has invested more over £1 billion in players.
“In extra-time it’s been Klopp’s kids against the blue, billion-pound bottlejobs,” said Neville.
Neville added “Liverpool have been absolutely sensational, those young players have been incredible. Klopp must be so proud.
“However, for Chelsea, I have no sympathy for them whatsoever. Mauricio Pochettino’s players have shrunk. They have shrunk right in front of our eyes and in front of their fans.”
