Manchester United destroyed Newcastle’s dream and won the Carabao

History repeated itself and, just like in 1998-99, Manchester United beat Newcastle in Sunday’s final. 24 years ago it was the FA Cup (2-0) and this time, the Carabao, won by the Old Trafford team with another 2-0 win at Wembley. The start of an era: this is Erik ten Hag’s first trophy as manager of United, who on Thursday knocked Barcelona out of the Europa League playoffs and face Betis in the round of 16.

Newcastle won their last major title in 1968-69, the Fairs Cup, and, Despite the good project built this season by Eddie Howe, the ‘magpies’ will have to keep waiting. The 5th classified in the Premier was not able to surprise his rival, to overcome the defensive device of a United that became Liverpool’s successor, champion of the Carabao Cup 2021-22. For the Old Trafford team, it was the first title in six years, since winning the Carabao Cup and the Europa League with José Mourinho on his bench.

Despite the fact that Newcastle started the game well, the truth is that it was less throughout the first half against a Manchester United that was unforgiving when it had a chance. So, Casemiro advanced to the ‘red devils’ from set piecesheader, taking advantage of the ball sent to him by Luke Shaw. Loris Karius thus conceded his first goal in what was his first game after one year and ten months. It’s minute 33.

Nick Pope’s sanction and the fact that Martin Dubravka could not be fit prompted Karius (marked by his mistakes in the Champions League final between Liverpool and Real Madrid in 2018) to start at Newcastle, where neither debuted.

Newcastle had no time to react and United had already scored in the second, where he gave the impression that Karius could have done more, although he did throughout the game. Rashford fired in with his left foot, but the goal was awarded to Sven Botman as an own goal in the 39′. The centre-back misled Newcastle’s current starting goalkeeper.

They are two severe blows from a United stronger than their rival, who cannot take advantage of their internships. In the second part, Allan Saint-Maximin threw himself into his team, which creates danger in his fast-paced internship. In the 68th minute, Lisandro Martínez stopped Joelinton from scoring. Despite the play being disallowed, David de Gea prevented Callum Wilson from getting Newcastle’s first goal. Howe’s men continued to fight for the return, while Karius saved a shot from Rashford with a great intervention and Bruno Fernandes with his last breath.
