Divya Delhi:  Newcastle United's Carabao Cup victory, which was their first major championship trophy since 1955, caused fans to celebrate wildly. Paul Atkinson, a lifelong fan who has supported the team for many decades, was one of the most emotional supporters. Even though he was diagnosed with incurable prostate cancer in 2022, he had a strong desire to see a Newcastle victory before his time was up. He claimed that since he had given up on winning the Man United game two years prior, this time it felt like a dream. After suffering many years of defeat, Paul Atkinson was ecstatic with Newcastle's victory. Since England had just won the World Cup later that year, Atkinson recalled his first-ever match experience from 1966. Before he found hope in this specific match, his previous experience with Wembley disappointments had nearly destroyed it. He gave an explanation of why he thought Newcastle should win now. As Newcastle survived the match to give their supporters, notably Atkinson, victory, the final's conclusion generated difficult moments for both the team and its supporters.
