The result saw Chelsea, branded “billion pound bottlejobs” by Gary Neville, lose their SIXTH consecutive domestic cup final.
But while the Blues suffered more heartbreak, Liverpool got the party underway in their dressing room.
Having lifted the Carabao Cup and paraded it around the pitch, Van Dijk and Co headed inside for a knees-up.
Video footage shows the Liverpool squad dancing around the dressing room to the sound of Dua Lipa’s smash hit ‘One Kiss’.
The songstress’ tune is popular with the Reds after becoming the soundtrack to their 2019 Champions League victory over Tottenham.
A year earlier, Lipa performed the song ahead of Liverpool’s defeat to Real Madrid in the final.
And despite losing, the fans embraced it as their own.
Liverpool’s players also clearly love it too.

They danced and sang along as the champagne began to flow.
And supporters couldn’t get enough of their antics in the capital.
One said: “Wild atmosphere.”
Another declared: “Proper that.”
One noted: “Fit and ready to face Southampton on Wednesday.”
Another added: “What a moment.”
Speaking after the win, Liverpool boss Klopp said: “I was told there was an English phrase that you don’t win trophies with kids!
“In my more than 20 years, it is easily the most special trophy I have ever won. It is absolutely exceptional.
“I was proud of everybody involved, I was proud of our people for the way they pushed us, I was proud of the staff for creating this kind of atmosphere surrounding where these boys can do what they are best at, I was proud of our academy, my coaches, so many things.
“It has nothing to do with it maybe being my last game at Wembley. It is about how everybody contributed, seeing the faces of the kids after the game.
“Can you create in football stories that definitely nobody will ever forget? It’s so difficult.
“If you find the same story with academy kids coming on against a top, top side and still winning? I don’t know (if you can).”
