00:00The Carabao Cup final at Wembley proved to be a memorable occasion for both Newcastle
00:08United and Liverpool, with emotions running high on both sides.
00:13For Newcastle, it marked the end of a long wait for major silverware, while for Liverpool
00:18it brought reflection on a performance that fell short of expectations.
00:25When the final whistle confirmed Newcastle's 2-1 victory, the celebrations among their
00:30fans reflected decades of longing and frustration.
00:34It had been 56 years since the club had last lifted a significant trophy, and this win
00:40felt like the start of a new era.
00:44Goals from Dan Byrne and Alexander Isak gave Newcastle a deserved lead, and although Filirico
00:49Chiesa pulled one back in stoppage time to set up a tense finish, Newcastle held firm
00:55to secure the trophy.
00:58Manager Eddie Howe, who has overseen a remarkable transformation at the club, guided his team
01:03through the high-pressure occasion, and the players delivered a performance full of discipline
01:09and energy.
01:10I love working with them every day, I'm honoured to be their leader.
01:17And for the supporters who came in there, thousands today who supported us back home.
01:24Since I've been at the football club, the support we've had home and away has been incredible.
01:28For their supporters, many of whom have travelled in huge numbers, it was a day to cherish,
01:33and a moment that will be remembered for generations to come.
01:37Liverpool, on the other hand, will look back on the final as a missed opportunity.
01:42They have won more League Cup finals than anyone else, but they struggled to impose
01:46themselves in this game, and found Newcastle difficult to break down.
01:52The loss following their recent European exit may prompt questions about the squad's
01:57depth and creativity in key moments.
02:00Yet both teams can take lessons from Wembley, Newcastle a reminder of how far they've come,
02:06and for Liverpool, a chance to regroup as they continue to make a charge towards lifting
02:10their 20th top flight title.
