In the EFL Cup final, Newcastle United triumphed over Liverpool with a score of 2-1, marking their first major trophy in 70 years. Despite Liverpool's struggles to create significant chances, Arne Slot, Liverpool's coach, dismissed claims of Newcastle being 'hungrier' for victory due to their long trophy drought. He emphasized that players strive for trophies regardless of the historical context. The match highlighted a disappointing performance from Liverpool, who had previously suffered a Champions League exit, leaving only the Premier League as their remaining trophy pursuit this season.
"It's 70 years since they've last won a trophy maybe, but that's for the fans. The players only have 15 years to play football, and they want to win every single trophy they are competing for."
"It was a game that went the way [Newcastle] wanted it to go and they got some extra energy with the goal just before half-time, which they probably deserved after the first 45 minutes."
