Chelsea defender Toni Rudiger is upset to be leaving without one last winner's medal after Liverpool made Thomas Tuchel's side pay on penalties in another cup final.

Having lost February's Carabao Cup showpiece to Jurgen Klopp's Reds on spot-kicks following an engaging, scoreless battle, history repeated itself as the sides met back at Wembley vying for FA Cup glory.

"I think it was a good game like the Carabao Cup final," the centre-back said.

“We had chances, they had chances. But at the end of the day we know that penalties are always a lottery. We lost. At the end of the day it's about winning.

“It's about today, it's not about next season. The game was about today and it was there to take and, yeah, unfortunately we didn't."

Asked what the difference is between being lucky and unlucky, Rudiger said: “It's always difficult to say whether we are lucky or unlucky.

“Personally for myself it's the third time (I have lost a final) so you can't always say unlucky, unlucky, unlucky."
