Newcastle Win Carabao Cup Bruno Guimarães Best Day of his life

The captain of Newcastle United Bruno Guimarães said it was the best day of his life when they hit Liverpool 2-1 in the Carabao Cup final in the Wembley Stadium on Sunday to win their first large domestic stRophy for 70 years.

Newcastle, who most recently tasted in the home when they won the FA Cup in 1955, took the lead in the first half when Center Back Dan Burn buried a header into the back of the network and doubled its advantage by striker Alexander Isak after the break.

“It's all for these fans. You deserved everything. When I came here for the first time, I said I wanted to bring my name to the story,” said Brazil middle field player Guimaraes.

“We can now say that we are the champions again …

“I have no words. It's the best day of my life. For you [the fans] It's like the World Cup. People have grown up and did not see us as a champions. My first year as the captain of this club and it is one of the best days. This is incredible.

“This is my second home. We write history. One day when I leave this club, I want the fans to sing my name as they do it [former Newcastle captain Alan] Clipper. He wrote me an SMS before the game. I am so emotional today. “

Burn put Newcastle in the lead in the 45th minute with a ball headball. The Newcastle Center pulled back into the long post and twisted his neck to pass the ball in the lawn and the desperate dive of the goalkeeper from Liverpool, Caoimhín Kelleher.

Newcastle then rejected an Isak effort from Var for the sidelines, but it only took a few moments before the striker scored his goal in the 52nd minute on a Jacob Murphy-Knock-Down and shot into the back of the network.

Liverpool flickered into life late in the game and Federico Chiesa achieved a barely deserved lifeline in added time, but Eddie Howes Newcastle last stopped.
