The Spanish goalkeeper came up with the goods in Wednesday's shoot-out win over the Blues in Turkey

Liverpool goalkeeper Adrian reflected on a "crazy week" after helping guide the Reds to Wednesday's Super Cup victory over Chelsea in Istanbul.

Adrian had his ups and downs throughout the match, including a controversial penalty call for Chelsea's extra-time equaliser, but the Spaniard stepped up after extra time to seal the win for Liverpool.

After seeing Chelsea's first four shots slip past him and into the back of the net, Adrian was able to kick away Tammy Abraham's penalty, sealing the win for a Liverpool team that was perfect from the spot.

Signed just last week, Adrian went from unemployed to backup to starter to, eventually, Super Cup champion, and the former West Ham goalkeeper says the past few days have been quite the rollercoaster.

"Welcome to Liverpool! It's been a crazy week." he told BT Sport.

"I'm really happy for the team, I'm happy to play for Liverpool and happy for the fans. It was a long game but in the end a great finish for us."

"I tried to stop when I saw him. Strikers are so intelligent," Adrian said of the penalty decision.

"[Abraham] touched me, I touched him, but he was looking for that. I tried to stop, but I need to see the images again.

"At the end it doesn't matter. We got the title and we will enjoy tonight."
