Newcastle goalscorer Dan Burn, speaking to Sky Sports: "I've had worse weeks. I don't want to go to sleep because I feel like I'm dreaming and it's all going to be a lie."

On his goal: "I knew Alexis [Mac Allister] wasn't looking at the ball and I'd be able to get a jump on him. I don't get many so I saved it for a big occasion.

"I feel sometimes I get around bodies and it's tough to get free.

"I feel strange, I feel numb at the minute."

On when he needs to report for England duty: "Tomorrow morning. I'll be first there tomorrow at 8 o'clock."

Newcastle manager Eddie Howe, speaking to Sky Sports: "We were well aware of the history and we wanted to do the club proud. We wanted to score, we wanted to perform and we wanted to win.

"We are breaking new ground, I thought we were magnificent today.

"We worked consistently for two weeks on set plays just for this game and if you had seen us in practice you would have said we had no chance.

"We couldn't believe Dan Burn scored - he didn't train like that! He was a colossus for us.

"I want to enjoy it first. I am always about tomorrow but I'll put the coaching books away for a few days.

"Both teams were quite direct and we dealt with that really well. Nobody wanted to make a mistake, there wasn't much pretty football played but we were effective in both boxes.

"We didn't want to show our hand when we played them a few weeks ago, we still wanted to win that game we just did it in a different way."

Isaac Hayden, on loan at Portsmouth from Newcastle, on BBC Radio 5 Live:

"Eddie Howe is one of the hardest working managers I have seen. It's a credit to him and he fully deserves it. He is going to be talked about in the upper echelons of Newcastle managers."

"To see the transformation [at Newcastle] from when I first joined. We didn't even have ice baths, to now, it's amazing.

"Joelinton was the best player on the park."

Former Newcastle goalkeeper Shay Given on Sky Sports:

"That last 10 minutes of extra time, I was going through it. I was getting emotional myself, seeing the faces of the fans and the players. We have waited so long for a trophy, any trophy.

"There is a statue at St James' Park of Bobby Robson, maybe they will build one of Eddie Howe."

Former Newcastle striker Les Ferdinand on Sky Sports:

"I am so, so happy for these supporters to go home and celebrate. They deserve it, just look at them."

Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher on Sky Sports:

"Newcastle didn't just win today, they battered Liverpool. They they have wiped the floor with them today.

"No matter what happens next with Newcastle, they will always be remembered for this."

• 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.

• 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."

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!

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.

Sutton's prediction: 3-2

With Liverpool and Newcastle United set to face off at Wembley for the first domestic silverware of season in the Carabao Cup final, we asked our fan contributors for each club to tell us their thoughts before the big showdown.

Who is the final bigger for? What would winning this trophy mean? What gives hope for getting it over the line?

This is what Reds fan Josh Sexton from The Anfield Wrap, external had to say...

And here is the view of Magpies fan Matty Renton from The Magpie Channel, external...

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!'"

Former Newcastle defender John Anderson "is delighted" for Dan Burn, who has been awarded his first England call up at 32 years old.

"He's worked so hard to get to the top so to finally break into the England squad is full credit to him," Anderson told BBC Radio Newcastle.

"It is deserved and will do his confidence a world of good."
