Let us know what you think in the comments section.Andrea spoke out in Kepa's defence following his crucial penalty miss in the Carabao Cup final last month, encouraging Blues fans not to paint her boyfriend as the villain, insisting on social media that he had the "most hard working, talented and beautiful soul" she'd ever met.

How Chelsea could line up next season if sanctions extend beyond end of this season
Chelsea are in for a tumultuous future following the UK government’s sanctions against the club and owner Roman Abramovich.The billionaire oligarch previously announced his plans to sell Chelsea given his alleged relationship with Russian president Vladimir Putin, but was dealt a huge blow on Thursday after heavy restrictions were placed on the club.Sale of the west London side may still be permitted if certain criteria are met, but the Blues face huge uncertainty following a ban on offering players contract extensions.That means a whopping 10 Chelsea players could end up leaving at the end of this season if the restrictions remain in place.Daily Star Sport looks at how Thomas Tuchel’s side may shape up ahead of an uncertain campaign next season.Chelsea are not likely to be impacted too severely when it comes to the goalkeeper position.Primary shot-stopper Edouard Mendy is under contract until 2025.Meanwhile, recent Carabao Cup villain Kepa Arrizabalaga also has another three years left on his contract, while third-choice Marcus Bettinelli will be with the Blues until 2023.Do you think Chelsea will finish in the top four next season with their current restrictions? Let us know in the comments section.Defence is undoubtedly the area where Chelsea will suffer the most if the restrictions remain in place.Long-time servant and captain Cesar Azpilicueta will walk away for free at the end of this season, along with stalwart centre-backs Andreas Christensen and Antonio Rudiger.All three have been regulars under Tuchel this campaign but will leave under the current measures after the club failed to make them commit to new contracts.That would mean youngsters Trevor Chalobah and Malang Sarr having to step up to cover for their

Liverpool fans mock themselves over Carabao Cup win with brilliant banner at Anfield
Liverpool won the first domestic trophy of the season on Sunday after Chelsea's substitute goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga missed from the spot to hand Jurgen Klopp victory.As the Reds remain in all other competitions, some fans are starting to believe that Liverpool could in fact do the quadruple this season, as they close in on Manchester City at the top of the Premier League.However, they only have the Carabao Cup to their name for now, and it's a trophy that has received criticism in the past as some of the bigger teams tend to field second-string sides in the earlier stages, including even Liverpool this season.But before rival fans had the chance to mock Liverpool for their celebrations, the Anfield faithful have got in their first with a banner which appears to make a joke of their own success.The Carabao Cup has been labelled as the 'Mickey Mouse Cup' in the past due to the fact it's not always taken seriously, and some of the bigger clubs tend to take their foot off the gas and use it as a chance to utilise their younger talent.However, it is a trophy nonetheless, and usually the fans that tend to mock the competition do so when their team has conveniently been knocked out.But Liverpool fans have brilliantly jumped on the bandwagon and mocked their own success, as a banner was unveiled at Anfield containing images of Mickey Mouse surrounded by trophies.Will Liverpool go on to win the quadruple this season? Comment below.The banner was shown during Liverpool's 2-1 win over the Norwich in the fifth round of the FA Cup, as Klopp progressed to the quarter-finals of the competition for the very first time.Liverpool also have a 2-0 advantage over Inter Milan in the Champions League ahead of the second leg at Anfield, and

Liverpool fans spot Virgil van Dijk's brilliant 'stare down' at Kepa Arrizabalaga
Liverpool star Virgil van Dijk's brilliant stare down at Kepa Arrizabalaga during Sunday's Carabao Cup final.The Reds triumphed 11-10 on penalties at Wembley following a pulsating goalless draw to win their first domestic cup since they won the same competition in 2012.Chelsea had substituted Kepa on specifically for the penalty shootout as he replaced Edouard Mendy from the bench during the closing moments of extra-time.However, the gamble failed to pay off as Kepa conceded all 11 penalties he faced including van Dijk's clinical spot-kick, which was followed by a brutal stare down at his rival.As the Dutch defender lined up to take Liverpool's third penalty in the shootout, Kepa shifted to the right-hand side of his goal in an attempt to put off his opponent.Kepa shifted back towards the centre of the goal as van Dijk began his run-up and was unable to stop his powerful penalty.Despite diving the right way, Kepa was helpless to stop the fierce strike as van Dijk called his bluff and found the top corner on the same side Kepa had previously stood.Following the penalty, van Dijk could be seen staring down the Chelsea keeper before he turned and jogged back to his team-mates in the centre circle.Was Virgil van Dijk's penalty the best in the shootout? Let us know in the comments section below.Fans and pundits alike loved the ice cold nature of his penalty and reaction, taking to social media afterwards to share their reactions.Writing on Twitter, Gary Lineker responded by saying: "This is definitely in my top 10 favourite penalties."One fan added: “I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve watched this.
