It has been an exhausting day for the Liverpool veterans, under manager Arne Slot ("The Reds-never walk alone seems to be walking alone ",)in the Carabao final at Wembley stadium on 16 March 2025.

This is after Newcastle United ( Magpies)thrashed them 2-1 defeat .it has been a draining day for the Slot's men to fail to defend the Carabao Cup despite being in their flawless execution throughout the season.

Howe's veterans secured the win after Dan Burn headed the ball into the net from Kieran Trippier's corner in the 45thminutes before going to stoppage time, The club's top scorer Isak sealed the deal after rocketing the ball home, ana assist from Jacob's Murphy's in the 52 minutes.

"Newcastle United secured their first domestic trophy for seven decades and ended a wait for a major prize stretching back to 1969 with a deserved Carabao Cup final win over Liverpool at Wembley.

Newcastle United (Magpies) survived a tense finish to clinch their first major silverware since the inter-city Fairs Cup in 1969 and their first domestic success since the 1955 FA Cup.

The win marks a history moment of Newcastle united ending the unfruitful years and a run of nine successive Wembley defeats since they won the FA cup 70 years ago.

On the other side, Liverpool FC,Arne Slot men led by veteran Mohammed Salah(The Egyptian King)suffer another blow after in the midweek they were thrashed mercilessly and knocked out of the champions league on penalties by Paris Saint Germany (PSG), did this affected the Liverpool players psychologically?

Liverpool looked tiresome on Sunday, even after the hope goal given by Chiesa in the additional time did not work to catalyse the team for a comeback.

Liverpool's defence is known for being strong but, on Sunday the Newcastle striker Alexander Isak destroyed it sealing the deal.

Arne's side which has been in prime form throughout the season, seems like they are barking up the wrong tree after the final cup loss and Champions League disqualification.
