LIVE Reactions: Newcastle United wins Carabao Cup, beats Liverpool 2-1 in League Cup final

Newcastle ended its 70-year-wait for a major domestic trophy by beating Liverpool 2-1 in the English League Cup final on Sunday. Dan Burn and Alexander Isak scored either side of half-time to seal victory at Wembley.

Here is how people around the world and the players reacted to the historic victory:

“It’s all for these fans. They deserve everything. When I first came here I said I wanted to put my name in history,” Brazil midfielder Guimaraes said.

“We can now say we are the champions again…

“I don’t have any words. It’s the best day of my life. For them (the fans) it’s like the World Cup. People have grown up and not seen us as champions. My first year as captain of this club and it’s one of the best days. This is unbelievable.

“This is my second home. We are making history. Some day when I leave this club I want the fans to sing my name the way they do to (former Newcastle captain Alan) Shearer. He texted me before the game. I’m so emotional today.”
