Newcastle have won their first major trophy since winning the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup in 1968-69 and it's the club's first major domestic success since winning the FA Cup in 1954-55.
The Magpies ended a run of nine successive losses at Wembley Stadium, with this their first victory there since the 1955 FA Cup final success over Manchester City.
Newcastle recorded their first win over Liverpool in all competitions since a 2-0 Premier League win in December 2015, with this their 18th meeting since then (D5 L12 before today).
Eddie Howe is the first English manager to win an English major domestic trophy since Harry Redknapp won the FA Cup with Portsmouth in 2008 and the first to win the EFL Cup since Steve McClaren with Middlesbrough in 2004.

Newcastle captain Bruno Guimaraes, speaking to Sky Sports: "It's all for these fans. They deserve everything. When I first came here I said I wanted to put my name in history.
"We can now say we are the champions again. This is one of the best days of my life.
"I don't have any words. It's the best day of my life. For them [the fans] it's like the World Cup. People have grown up and not seen us as champions. My first year as captain of this club and it's one of the best days. This is unbelievable.
"This is my second home. We are making history. Some day when I leave this club I want the fans to sing my name the way they do to Shearer. He text me before the game. I'm so emotional today."

What Newcastle need to do to beat Liverpoolpublished at 13:35 16 March
13:35 16 March
We asked for your views on what Newcastle must do to lift the Carabao Cup later.
Here are some of your comments:
Pete: To beat Liverpool we need to show them no respect at all. Paris St-Germain showed they are vulnerable on the break and don't cope well with the high press. We have to push them every inch of the way, make it difficult for them, don't let them play and threaten every time we have the ball.
James: Injuries and suspensions aside, winning this final will ultimately come down to mentality. We didn't look ourselves against Manchester United two years ago and it seems lessons have been learned in the lead-up to a return to Wembley. It would be naive to assume Liverpool will be significantly affected by their dramatic Champions League exit, but it offers a glimmer of hope that they are not the unbeatable force they have looked this season. If the Newcastle that comfortably beat Arsenal in the semi-final turns up on Sunday, we've got a chance...
Sandra: We need to dig deep if we're not in the lead at half-time and everyone will need to pull their weight. If they do that we may pull off the greatest win of all time. Come on the Toon.
Brian: 10-man defence with hope of a fast break out and Isak up there to score a goal. Boring - but Liverpool will be all out to win now they are out of Europe
Liam: Newcastle are without doubt the underdogs, but the game means more to them and their great fans then it does Liverpool. Newcastle should be looking to outwork Liverpool in every aspect. They have to be committed to every tackle, every duel, and not let Liverpool rest on the ball. With Isak up front, they won't need many chances as long as they defend well. Salah was completely ineffective against PSG and hopefully will be nullified again.
Andrew: We need to replicate the playing intensity and tempo that we showed against Arsenal. Liverpool have started their past few matches slowly, and will be tired by 70/80 minutes. Let's start and finish quickly!
Sutton's predictions: Liverpool v Newcastlepublished at 12:34 16 March
12:34 16 March
We all know how much it would mean for Newcastle to end their long wait for a major trophy, but they have not beaten Liverpool since December 2015, a run of 17 games.
When you consider the Magpies are without Lewis Hall and Anthony Gordon - their entire first-choice on the left flank - I really don't see that run ending at Wembley.
I am expecting Tino Livramento to replace Hall and try to stop Mohamed Salah. Livramento is mobile and quick, but I don't think he will keep Salah quiet all game.
It won't be easy for Liverpool, though. They are without Trent Alexander-Arnold and, with Conor Bradley likely to be sidelined too, they will need to find someone to fill in at right-back.
The midfield battle will be key, because Newcastle are very good in that area, especially now Joelinton is back alongside Bruno Guimaraes and Sandro Tonali, but it is one of Liverpool's strengths too.
Arne Slot's biggest issue is how the Reds will react to the disappointment of going out of the Champions League against Paris St-Germain, but I don't see them having a hangover from that shootout defeat.
My gut feeling is that we will see a few goals, and Liverpool will win in 90 minutes.

'Eddie, will you hurry up and win a trophy!'published at 13:36 15 March

The last captain to win a cup for Newcastle, Bobby Moncur, says it has been "far too long" since the Magpies claimed silverware and wants someone to "take this role over".
Bruno Guimaraes has the chance to become the first Newcastle skipper to lift a trophy since Moncur lifted the European Fairs Cup in 1969 under club legend Joe Harvey.
"Alan Shearer nearly won a trophy as captain but we didn't," Moncur told BBC Radio Newcastle's Matt Bailey.
"There's been a few near misses as well and I keep thinking someone is going to have to take this role over because it was 1969.
"Who would have thought at the time Newcastle would win a European trophy and then win nothing more of any ilk until now? You just can't believe it.
"Every year goes by and, sadly, I get a year older and I think to myself I might not see them win another trophy. I said that to Eddie [Howe] when I saw him - I said: 'Eddie, will you hurry up please because I might run out of time here!'"
'That is why I came here... I have high ambitions' - Isak on cup finalpublished at 16:59 14 March

Newcastle striker Alexander Isak says all of his focus is on "bringing a trophy back" to St James' Park, amid a season of speculation surrounding his future.
Isak's current deal does not expire until the summer of 2028 but he has been linked with a move away from the club as a result of his excellent form.
"That is why I came here," he said when asked about his ambitions at the club.
"I have said many times that I don't really think too much about my future. I have said many times I am happy here and we are competing for titles, which is what you want as a football player. We have been to one final and now we are in another one.
"The chances are there. We should look at it one season at a time - and this season we can win a trophy. I have said many times I am focused on doing a job. All of our focus is on Sunday and bringing a trophy back."
Isak also played down any injury fears before Sunday's Carabao Cup final against Liverpool.
The 25-year-old - who has scored 22 goals so far this season - has only recently returned from a groin problem but started the FA Cup defeat by Brighton at the start of March and Monday's Premier League win over West Ham.
"I feel good," Isak added. "I am really excited for the game.
"The best way to prepare is to train as normal. It will come down to what we do as a team, and that is all we can focus on. I am excited but focused on the job.
"I just want to be the best version of myself. I have high ambitions. I am trying to create my own history at Newcastle. I'm happy with what I have done so far but always looking forward."
'That record has been too long - it needs to go!'published at 13:51 14 March

Rob Lee was the last player to score for Newcastle at Wembley, in an FA Cup semi-final against Chelsea almost 25 years ago.
That is far too long, says the former Magpies midfielder as he called for the current crop to "leave everything on the pitch" when they take on Liverpool in the Carabao Cup final on Sunday.
"I never get bored of people reminding me of the goal," he told BBC Radio Newcastle. "I get bored of people reminding me of the result because we haven't got a great record at Wembley - the new one or the old one.
"If Alexander Isak or anyone breaks it and we win the game then I'll be absolutely delighted. I will be partying with the rest of the Geordies. It's great to have records but that record has been there too long. It needs to go.
"It's not until you finish playing many years later that you look back and think: 'Wow, I did that.' I'm not sure Alan [Shearer] was trying to cross, I think he was shooting and scuffed it."
Lee's equaliser was in vain as Gus Poyet put the Blues back ahead six minutes later as they went on to make the final.
Despite the result, Lee still has fond memories of playing at the national stadium.
"It's a dream of everybody's," he said. "It was a dream when I was growing up. I wanted to play at Wembley. I wanted to captain a team at Wembley.
"If I could tell anything to the lads, I would say: 'Listen, go out there and leave everything on the pitch because it goes so quickly. You think you'll get another chance next year, and sometimes those next years pass you by.'
"The team didn't play well in the cup finals - certainly I didn't play well in them. You look back when you're older, you put your slippers on and think: 'Could I have played better? Could I have done more?'
"If I could give any advice to all the players, it is to give everything and give their best shot. If it's not good enough at the end of the day, that's fine - but don't leave anything on the pitch."
