Jurgen Klopp believes Liverpool were unfortunate to lose the Capital One Cup final to Manchester City on penalties on Sunday evening. Philippe Coutinhos equaliser sent the game at Wembley to extra time after Fernandinho opened the scoring, and after neither side could find a winner, City goalkeeper Willy Caballero stepped up with three saves to help his side win the shoot-out.Substitute Divock Origi had Liverpools best chance to win the tie in extra time, while Raheem Sterling and Sergio Aguero squandered opportunities for City, but Klopp felt his side did enough to win the trophy. Philippe Coutinho celebrates his equalising goal in the Capital One Cup final We are disappointed but Im pleased with a lot things I saw in the game, Klopp told Sky Sports. It was even in the first half with moments on our side and moments on their side.In the second half we conceded the goal, but then we tried everything and scored the equaliser. They had a few counter-attacks and we were too open in one or two situations, but we were back in the game.We had a big chance with Divock and a couple of other situations too. Its unlucky, but its one way to lose in a cup final. It doesnt matter how, so we are disappointed. Highlights from Wembley as Liverpool and Manchester City met in the Capital One Cup final Simon Mignolet made three excellent saves, including one fine stop from Aguero, but allowed Fernandinhos shot to squirm under his body for Citys opener, leaving Klopp to admit the goal was a poor one to concedeI dont think we did [play as well as we could], but I dont think Man City played to their best either, he added. Thats how it is, and you have to take what you get.It was good enough to win this game, because we should not concede the goal. It was not perfect defending, and from that angle it should not be a goal. Everybody knows this, but thats how it is.These things happen and you have to strike back, and thats what we did. We had our chances, and we played well in a lot of moments.You can fall down, but you have to stand up and we have the next chance on Wednesday against Man City again. Its another game and another tournament, and we have to carry on. We cant change this game now.

For everything.Either a 108-year World Series championship drought will come to an end, or another thats lasted 68 years.Hysteria for one fan base, more heartbreak for the other.Cubs vs. Indians in a winner-take-all Game 7.As it should be.Its just correct and apt that wed go seven games, Chicago manager Joe Maddon said.Addison Russell hit a grand slam and tied a Series record with six RBI, and Chicago took advantage of a huge early misplay in Clevelands outfield as the Cubs, their offense finally revving, throttled the Indians 9-3 on Tuesday night in Game 6 to push this tense tug-of-war between baseballs two longest title drought holders to the limit.The biggest, most nerve-wracking day lies ahead.This is kind of fitting for these two franchises. This is storybook, Cubs catcher David Ross said. Theyll make movies about this one day.Indians ace Corey Kluber, dominant while winning Games 1 and 4, starts again on short rest Wednesday night at home against big league ERA leader Kyle Hendricks.Clevelands hopes will rest with their best pitcher, the one guy theyve been able to count on all season.We knew it wasnt going to be easy, said Jason Kipnis, who homered and had three hits. We knew theyve got a great ballclub over there. They were lined up with their three-headed monster of a pitching staff. Were still very confident.Kris Bryant homered to spark a three-run first inning, Russell hit the first Series slam in 11 years and Jake Arrieta worked into the sixth as the Cubs, down 3-1 back at Wrigley Field, are now rolling. One more win at Progressive Field would bring their first championship since 1908.The Indians, trying for their first title since 1948, missed a second shot at closing out the Cubs. Cleveland is now forced to play another Game 7 after losing in 11 innings to the Florida Marlins in 1997 in its last trip to the Series.Not wanting to take any chances despite a comfortable late lead, Maddon used atomic-armed Aroldis Chapman for one out in the seventh, the eighth and one batter in the ninth. The lefty, who got the final eight outs in Game 5, threw just 20 pitches and will be on call for the seasons final game when both managers wont hesitate to use any arm theyve got.The Cubbies, shut out twice earlier in this Series, brought their clubbies to Cleveland. Bryant had four hits and Anthony Rizzo added three, including a two-run homer.They hammered Josh Tomlin, who couldnt get out of the third inning and didnt get any help from his outfield in the first. The right-hander, who was so effective in Game 3 at Wrigley Field, pitched on short rest for the second time in his career but wasnt the problem as much as his location.Everything seemed to be lined up for a massive downtown street party in Cleveland.On a 71-degree November night, fans came hoping to witness the first championship win at home by a Cleveland team since the Browns took the NFL title in 1964 by shutting out the Baltimore Colts.With Eddie Robinson -- the last living member from that 48 title team -- in attendance, and LeBron James and the NBA champion Cavaliers coming over from Quicken Loans Arena after they beat Houston, Cleveland was poised to have a night to remember like the one just 134 days ago in June when the Cavs ended the citys 52-year championship dry spell.The Cubs blew through those plans like a wicked wind off Lake Michigan.Arrieeta wasnt dominant, but he didnt have to be.dddddddddddd Staked to the early lead, he held the Indians without a hit until the fourth when Kipnis doubled leading off and scored on Mike Napolis single.Arrieta worked out of a bases-loaded jam in the fourth, and gave up a homer to Kipnis in the fifth but struck out nine.Maddon came to get him in the sixth, the right-hander got several pats on the back from Chicagos infielders and Cubs fans saluted him with a standing ovation.Tomlin was one strike from getting out of the first unscathed when everything fell apart.He had Bryant down 0-2 when he hung a waist-high curveball that Chicagos third baseman, who came in just 2 for 17 in the Series but had homered in Game 5, cracked nearly halfway up the bleachers in left field, a 433-foot shot that sent a shockwave through standing-room-only Progressive Field.There was a bigger one to come.Rizzo and Ben Zobrist followed with singles before Tomlin got Russell to hit what appeared to be a routine out. However, right fielder Lonnie Chisenhall and rookie center fielder Tyler Naquin, unable to hear each other over the roaring crowd, looked at each other and let the ball drop onto the grass for a double.While they scrambled to recover it, Rizzo scored easily and Zobrist beat a relay throw to the plate, bowling over Indians catcher Roberto Perez as a sizeable contingent of Cubs screamed with delight.It was just loud at there, Naquin said. It was kind of one of those in-betweeners. Lonnie got a good break, I got a break, its just one of those deals. In the moment, me being the center fielder, I need to take charge on that. Thats my mistake.Although it was early, with Arrieta on the mound, Chicagos lead felt more like 30-0 than 3-0.Russell, who dressed up like a Ninja turtle on Halloween, then put a fright into Indians fans with his shot to deep left-center.With two on, Indians reliever Dan Otero placed a 2-0 pitch over the heart of the plate to Russell, who launched it over the wall spent much of his home-run trot howling.The Cubs were loud all night, and with one more win theyll be champions.I hope its not difficult to sleep. Its every kids dream. It all comes down to Game 7, Russell said.FALL CLASSICSBryant and Rizzo became the first 3-4 hitters to combine for seven hits in a Series game. ... Kipnis went 3 for 4 with a single, double and home run. He has two in this Series, joining Willie Stargell and Roy Campanella as the only players to accomplish that. ... Clevelands pitchers have 59 strikeouts, tied for the fourth most in Series history. The 2001 Yankees had 70.SEVENTH HEAVENThe Cubs and Indians each have 0-2 records in Game 7. Chicago lost the 1945 World Series to Detroit and the 2003 NLCS to Florida, both at Wrigley. ... Along with the 97 Series loss, the Indians dropped the 2007 ALCS at Boston. . The Series has gone the distance three times in six years. San Francisco defeated Kansas City in the last seven-gamer in 2014. . Home teams are 18-19 all-time in Game 7.ME AND THE MICKAt 22, Russell became the second-youngest player to hit a grand slam in the World Series. Yankees legend Mickey Mantle was 21 when he hit one on Oct. 4, 1953 against Brooklyn. Russell is the first Cubs to player to connect for a slam in the Series. ' ' '
