On August 14, 2019, Liverpool secured the UEFA Super Cup title after a thrilling penalty shootout against Chelsea at Istanbul's Vodafone Arena.
The match began with Chelsea taking the lead in the 36th minute, thanks to a goal from Olivier Giroud, who capitalized on brilliant footwork from N'Golo Kante and Christian Pulisic.
However, Sadio Mane equalized just three minutes into the second half, with Roberto Firmino setting up the Senegalese star.
The match eventually finished 1-1 after regulation time, but Mane put Liverpool ahead five minutes into extra-time to complete his brace on the night.
But the lead did not last long as Jorginho levelled up affairs from the spot following Adrian's foul in the dangerous area to send the game to penalties.
Adrian, who stepped in for the injured Alisson Becker, redeemed himself in the shootouts, saving Tammy Abraham's decisive penalty to secure a 5-4 shootout victory for Jurgen Klopp's men.
Chelsea had been seeking to bounce back from a disappointing 4-0 defeat to Manchester United in their season opener, but they ultimately fell short against the Anfield outfit.
