What annoyed Diogo Jota against Chelsea as Kepa sent a statement to Liverpool
Moments you might have missed during Liverpool's FA Cup final win over Chelsea on Saturday
Jurgen Klopp Honors Players, Fans, and the Club Following the FA Cup victory
Liverpool won the FA Cup final on Saturday, completing the second leg of a still-possible quadruple.
After Alisson Becker saved Mason Mount's penalty, Kostas Tsimikas converted the decisive penalty as the Reds won a dramatic shoot-out 6-5. Jurgen Klopp's team has now won the domestic cup and the Champions League, with a Champions League final to follow.
But there was a lot that went unnoticed or went unnoticed during the 120 minutes - and more - at Wembley.
Diogo, please leave
Two teams gave it their all in a competitive game played in high spirits. But there was one instance during extra time when things got a little heated.
As they waited for a throw-in, Chelsea centre-back Antonio Rudiger became overly familiar with Diogo Jota, and the Liverpool forward, no doubt aware shirts are supposed to be swapped after the final whistle, had no choice but to give the defender a piece of his mind, with referee Craig Pawson eventually intervening.
Not to say Rudiger was excited for the occasion, but he punched the corner flag after winning a goal kick near the end of the game. Imagine if he had scored...
Robbo keeps it secure.
On the field and in the locker room, there were numerous celebrations after the game from Liverpool, and continued as they passed through the mixed zone - the area where they pass the waiting media in the hopes of getting an interview - before boarding the team coach.
Andy Robertson was tasked with carrying the cup to the bus, while Fabinho, despite being injured, joined in the celebrations while wearing a Liverpool top. Thankfully, it's not quite John Terry-esque full kit.
Despite being told by a Wembley operative that he had won the 'best trainers of the day' award as he trudged past, Romelu Lukaku didn't have much fun. The dismissive, grunted response said it all.
Joel looks good in a beret.
There was plenty for eagle-eyed Liverpool fans to enjoy during the post-match celebrations on the Wembley turf, ranging from Thiago Alcantara and Harvey Elliott dressed up as Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino kung-fu kicked his way towards the Liverpool fans.
The beret worn by Joel Matip as he paraded around the pitch was perhaps the most amusing, with Virgil van Dijk in particular tickled at the sight of his fellow centre-back sporting a new look.
Who would have thought to include such an item in the game? How did it end up in the hands of the players? We should be informed.
