Liverpool must continue to wait for the first title in the era of coach Arne Slot. In the final of the League Cup, the favorite reds fail to Newcastle United.
Liverpool awarded the next title chance. After the end of the Champions League against PSG on Tuesday, the Reds failed 1-2 (0: 1) on Newcastle on Sunday in the final of the League Cup. For the Magpies, the triumph means the first national title in 70 years!
In the Wembley stadium in London, Newcastle was superior to the Reds and took the lead shortly before the break after a corner through a header by defender Dan Burn (45th minute).

After the restart, an ex -Dortmund Alexander Isak was collected for offside (51.), but only a minute later the Swedish international scored again – this time regularly to 2: 0 (52nd).
Afterwards the league leader of the Premier League became more active, but was unsuccessful for a long time. Only in added time was the substitute Federico Chiesa shortened to 1: 2 (90.+4). As a result, however, the Reds could no longer make the compensation.
