No, it wasn’t a dream. Newcastle United actually have just won a trophy. Fifty-six years of hurt is no more.
There wasn’t that same old sinking feeling. Instead, it was an evening where legends were made. Eddie Howe and his players have written themselves in Toon folklore.
Dan Burn, the local boy from Blyth who, almost a decade ago was being released by Fulham, headed Newcastle in front on the brink of half-time. Bedlam.
And then there was Alexander Isak to make it 2-0 just after the break. A dream was very quickly starting to become a reality.
Of course, it was never going to be straightforward. Liverpool pulled one back in stoppage time through Federico Chiesa to make it a nervy finish, but Howe’s side held out and made history.
The morning after the night before and we still can’t quite believe it happened.
In a nod to 1955 - the last time Newcastle won a domestic trophy before last night - here’s 55 of the best photos from a memorable day at Wembley.
