German tennis icon Boris Becker responded to Liverpool’s thrilling Carabao Cup victory over Chelsea on Sunday, February 25, with admiration and support.
In a tense final at Wembley Stadium, Liverpool secured the Cup in the dying moments of extra time. Captain Virgil van Dijk’s late goal sparked jubilation among players and fans alike, sealing a poignant triumph.
The victory held special significance for the team, who rallied behind their departing manager, Jürgen Klopp, as he prepares to leave at the season’s end.
Boris Becker joined the chorus of reactions, taking to Instagram to post a photo of the triumphant Liverpool squad alongside a caption that simply read: “YNWA.”
“YNWA” stands for “You’ll Never Walk Alone,” a timeless anthem composed by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein for a Broadway musical in 1945. Though not originally written for Liverpool, the song has become synonymous with the club since the 1960s and serves as their official anthem.
Notably, other football clubs, such as Celtic and Borussia Dortmund, also embrace the song, playing it before their home games as a symbol of unity and solidarity.
