Van Dijk’s goal proved to be the difference, securing a hard-fought victory for his team.
The win at the home of English football marked the second time both teams are meeting in the finals of the competition, with Liverpool claiming the title each time.
Chelsea met Liverpool in the 2022 tournament, and Kepa missed Chelsea’s penalty that handed Jurgen Klopp’s men the needed victory.
The title is well a send forth gift to Klopp who has announced his departure from the club at the end of the season.
