Today's final could be different and will hopefully be a more open and end-to-end affair given the absentees, injuries and the fact that both squads are running on fumes.

Exhausting FA Cup final exposes fixture burden on players with ... (iNews)

The FA Cup final was Chelsea's 61st game of the season and Liverpool's 60th… and football's high-profile fixtures continue into June.

The study found national team footballers played 67 per cent of their minutes in back-to-back games in the 2000/21 season, an increase of six per cent from the two previous. It means players will resume the season on Boxing Day — eight days after the World Cup final. Chelsea also went to extra time in a gruelling Champions League tie in Madrid. When the teams met at Wembley in late February for the League Cup final they went to extra time then, too. And when the match, goalless after 90 minutes, went to extra time, Virgil Van Dijk was unable to continue, joining Salah in the dugout. In fact, there was evidence of tired muscles, tweaked joints and overworked limbs all over the Wembley pitch.

Liverpool need to win Champions League for season to rank ... (Eurosport.com)

After witnessing an FA Cup victory over Chelsea at Wembley, Paul Hassall believes it is no more than this red machine deserve, but says it will only rank ...

A second Premier League title in three years is looking unlikely given Manchester City’s fixtures, three-point lead and superior goal difference - and that is where the unprecedented quadruple bid is likely to come unstuck. If this Liverpool team is to stand above greats of yesteryear, they must go on and win more of the top-tier trophies. The standards Klopp and his side have set in recent seasons have threatened to reach new heights even for a club with the glittering history of the Anfield giants.

They will be hoping to have the iconic wall updated again over the next few weeks as Liverpool continue their quest for an unprecedented quadruple.

"It's a big moment for us, we haven't come this far, [and been] in this final, for some time, so to win it was special. And amid the celebrations, this trophy will perhaps mean the most to Jordan Henderson - whose last FA Cup final ended in heartbreak 10 years ago against Chelsea after losing 2-1. One heartwarming moment included Zakaria holding the cup as the Liverpool squad danced and sang around him.
