Match review:
It should be noted that before the final of the League Cup, “Manchester United” and “Newcastle” supported Ukraine. Before the starting whistle, both teams together with the referee team gathered for a joint photo with the banner “FOOTBALL STANDS TOGETHER” made in blue and yellow colors.
Thus, they expressed support for the people of Ukraine, and also reminded the world on the anniversary of the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation that the war is not over yet.
Let’s add that “Manchester United” won the English League Cup for the sixth time in its history. It is the club’s first trophy since 2017, when Manchester United won the Europa League. In the final of the European tournament, the English club beat the Dutch “Ajax” with a score of 2:0.
