Relive the moment the lads gave it their all to win the 2025 Carabao Cup and become all-time heroes on Tyneside.
Newcastle United are Carabao Cup champions. What a sentence and what a football club. A squad and staff that have embedded their names into the history books of the world’s greatest city.
It isn’t a dream anymore, this is our new reality. No doubt a few sore heads today and some minor lapses in the memory I would imagine. Watch the highlights below of one of the greatest days in the club’s history.
Wembley erupted as boyhood Mag Big Dan Burn headed the club he has supported his whole life into the lead in a cup final. It’s a moment so perfect it almost feels like fiction.
Alexander Isak cemented his place in Newcastle United history when he doubled our lead in the second half after Tino Livramento’s cross was headed back across the box by another lifelong Mag Jacob Murphy.
The game could have been oh so different if momentum had switched at the hour mark. Big Nick Pope justified his selection with a true highlight reel save in the biggest game of our season.
Two years ago with Pope unavailable for the final, allowing Loris Karius a rare start, the Englishman may well have won the competition two years later. Anything could have happened had he not palmed that away like a cat, especially with Liverpool grabbing a goal through Federico Chiesa late on.
Post-match celebrations were glorious, emotional and impassioned. Soak it in again. Video below:
I just wanted to add gratitude to the playing squad, the staff, and also to the people of the incredible city of Newcastle and beyond who support this great club and make it the wonderful thing it is – never more so than this very moment.
Edward John Frank Howe you have overseen some of the best moments of my life following this team and yesterday is full credit to you and your coaching staff. The mastermind victory over Arsenal that got us here, and the performance against the Reds yesterday, will be fond memories for the rest of my days.
The boys in black-and-white on the pitch did their duties and beyond, but to have actual fans of the club get us there is extra special. The giant from Blyth and the renewed Murphy both contributing to goals at Wembley in the final, after Sean Longstaff scoring the decisive penalty against Nottingham Forest in the game that started the run,
Poetic, if you ask me. I love you, Newcastle United.
