OpinionCarabao Cup and Newcastle United – Massive opportunity opens up to third final in four seasonsExactly six months and one week ago, Newcastle United lifted the Carabao Cup at Wembley. When you compare that to the FA Cup, you come to see why the Carabao Cup could be far more achievable (again!) It has been a quite remarkable last few years for Newcastle United with the Carabao Cup. In 2022/23 Newcastle United reached the Carabao Cup final at Wembley and lost to Manchester United. No matter, as 2024/25 saw Eddie Howe’s Newcastle United go on a brilliant run in the Carabao Cup (League Cup) and just went and won the bloody thing!
