it's been a thrilling year for the underdogs in English football! Newcastle United secured their first major trophy in 56 years by winning the 2025 League Cup, also known as the Carabao Cup. This victory marked a significant moment in the club's history, especially for the long-suffering fans who had been waiting for a trophy since the team's last victory in the 1969 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup.

Crystal Palace's triumph was equally impressive, as they claimed their first major trophy in the club's history by defeating the mighty Manchester City in the final of the same competition. The Eagles' victory was a true David vs. Goliath story, with the London club punching above their weight to conquer one of the most successful sides in recent English football history. Their performance at Wembley Stadium was nothing short of heroic and will be remembered fondly by Palace fans for years to come.
Both Newcastle and Crystal Palace's successes serve as a reminder that anything is possible in football, and that smaller clubs can still achieve greatness against the odds. It also adds to the unpredictable and exciting nature of the sport, keeping fans on the edge of their seats throughout the season.
