Newcastle United have been sent a supportive message from a fan favourite ahead of this weekend’s Carabao Cup final.
After Monday’s 1-0 win over West Ham in the Premier League on Monday evening, attention can finally turn to the Carabao Cup final.
Eddie Howe’s side will have the chance to end a 70-year wait for silverware when they face Liverpool at Wembley on Sunday afternoon.
Howe has already started the cup final mind games, and Newcastle fans would have enjoyed watching Liverpool be put through a gruelling 120-minute Champions League match against PSG on Tuesday evening.
Fabian Schar is looking forward to the final, and Guimaraes has a secret plan for the Wembley showpiece. Just days away from the final, fan favourite Allan Saint-Maximin has shown his support for the Magpies.

Allan Saint-Maximin’s message ahead of Carabao Cup final
During the last final in 2023, Saint-Maximin was in the cup final XI at Wembley as Newcastle sadly lost 2-0 to Manchester United.
The tricky winger now at Fenerbahce on loan, will hope his former side can go one step further this time around and get their hands on the trophy.
Saint-Maximin has shown his support for Newcastle on social media through a message on X.

Allan Saint-Maximin’s record at Newcastle United
Saint-Maximin spent four years at Newcastle and it didn’t take him long to settle down and become a fan favourite.
He scored 13 goals and assisted 21 times in 124 appearances for Newcastle and was often the saving grace of a side struggling towards the bottom end of the table.

Steve Bruce said Saint-Maximin was his best player, but he ended up leaving for Al Alhi in 2023 for a £23 million fee.
Howe “absolutely loved” Saint-Maximin as a player, but unfortunately Newcastle needed to sell and raise funds.
