'Means everything' - How Newcastle United dressing room reacted to Carabao Cup Final heroics

by · ChronicleLive

Newcastle United players have been busy celebrating the club's history-making victory in the Carabao Cup.

Sunday afternoon saw the Magpies claim a famous win over Liverpool at Wembley Stadium to win the League Cup. Goals from Dan Burn and Alexander Isak helped Newcastle win their first major domestic trophy since 1955, which also booked a place in next season's UEFA Conference League in the process.

The final whistle sparked euphoric celebrations among the Newcastle players, staff and fans inside Wembley Stadium. Bruno Guimaraes was joined by Kieran Trippier in lifting the Carabao Cup trophy before going on to celebrate the win alongside their teammates.

In the hours that followed, several members of the Newcastle squad have taken to social media to react to their victory in the capital. One such player was Fabian Schar, who posted an emotional message to the St James' Park faithful. "This means everything for me," Schar wrote on Instagram.

"I've been here more than six years and finally win a trophy for this club is everything I ever wanted!

"I know how much it means to Newcastle, to everyone supporting us, we all deserve it! I love you all."

Match-winner Isak also issued a message to Newcastle's fans with a one-word verdict on the Carabao Cup final victory. The Sweden international simply wrote "history" on Instagram - accompanied by a trophy emoji.

Joelinton also posted a photo of himself alongside his Newcastle teammates, in the Wembley dressing room, to celebrate the win. His Instagram post read: "We are champions!"

Sandro Tonali was another Newcastle player who fired up Instagram to share his thoughts. The Italy international wrote: "HISTORY MAKERS! Came to Wembley. Owned the moment. Took the trophy home."

With March's international break now underway, Newcastle will now look ahead to facing Brentford at St James' Park on April 2 in their next Premier League match. However, for the moment, they can savour in creating history.
