Liverpool ended their 14-year wait for a UEFA Super Cup title by beating Chelsea on penalties 5-4 to win the tournament at Vodafone Park Stadium in Istanbul, Turkey.
Lampard's men opened the scoring after 36 minutes when Olivier Giroud used his left foot to slip a low finish under Adrian.
In a search for a solution, Liverpool's head coach Jurgen Klopp introduced the Brazilian forward Roberto Firmino, who marked a huge difference to his side, when he beat the keeper to the ball and flicked it to his right, where Sadio Mane finished it off to equalize the scoring.
Mane put his side ahead after he sidefooted a brilliant rising finish past Kepa to add his second goal in the game in the extra time. Five minutes later, Chelsea's midfielder Jorginho equalized the scoring when he converted from the penalty spot.
The Video Assistant Referee (VAR) system disallowed Pulisic's goal in the 39th minute due to an offside.
The Blues came close to open the scoring in the 21st minute after midfielder Pedro unleashed a left-foot shot, which hit the Reds' post. Ten minutes later, Liverpool's keeper brought into action as his save denied the Blues from getting ahead.
Atletico Madrid are the reigning champions after beating LaLiga rivals Real Madrid in Tallinn last season.
The showpiece match is the season opener for European competitions as the winners of the Champions League and Europa League go head-to-head.
It is worth mentioning that the Reds kicked off their adventure in the Premier League with a 4-1 victory over newly-promoted Norwich City at Anfield on Friday night, while the Blues began their campaign with a heavy defeat by Manchester United (4-0).
