Chelsea manager Frank Lampard has said his side were unfortunate to be on the losing side in Wednesday's UEFA Super Cup final loss to Liverpool.
Olivier Giroud opened the scoring for the Blues on the night, before Sadio Mane's goal for Liverpool just after half-time got the Reds back on terms. At the end of extra time, the scores were locked at 2-2 following another from Mane and a penalty for Chelsea from Jorginho.
Eventually the Reds prevailed, with Tammy Abraham's tame spot-kick saved by Adrian. Afterwards, Lampard reflected on what he thought was a strong performance from his players, per the club's official website:
"I respect Liverpool and they had chances in the game, but it was clear to me that we were the stronger team.
