Newcastle United celebrated their EFL Cup triumph on Sunday at Wembley, ending a 56-year wait for silverware. The victory not only marks a significant achievement for the club but also sets the stage for greater aspirations in the future.

The last time Newcastle lifted a trophy was during the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup in 1969, an event that coincided with significant historical moments, including the rise of the internet and the fall of the Berlin Wall.

Manager Eddie Howe expressed hopes of more victories, stating, “Hopefully with one can come more. There’s no guarantee but it proves we can do it.”

The club’s transformation began with the Saudi Public Investment Fund’s takeover, leading to significant investments in talents like Bruno Guimaraes and Alexander Isak, both pivotal in the recent success.

Looking ahead, Newcastle aims for European qualification, crucial for maintaining their star players and continuing to build on their progress since the takeover.
