The Carabao Cup is a professional soccer competition in England that involves teams from the top four tiers of English football.  The competition is organized by the English Soccer League and has been running since 1960. It is a knockout tournament, with the winner being determined through a series of single-elimination rounds. The teams that participate in the competition include those from the Premier League, the Championship, League One, and League Two. The Carabao Cup is typically played over the course of the English Soccer season, starting in August and concluding with the final in February or March. The competition culminates in a final at Wembley Stadium, with the winner qualifying for the Europa League. The current team that has won the most cups in this tournament is Liverpool FC. On Sunday, February 26th the final was played, the teams being Manchester United and Newcastle. Manchester United ended up winning 2-0 with the scorers being Casimero who scored in the thirty-third minute and Marcus Rashford in the thirty-ninth minute. This is the first trophy that Manchester United has won in six years. When asked student Ronny Cordova what he thought about the Caribou cup he said “The team I supported was Bournemouth as I am a Bournemouth fan but the team who really shocked me was Nottingham Forest, not even with the squad depth they have did I expect them to make the Semi-Finals. I think my underdogs we’re definitely Charlton, they had to start from the first round, and immediately matched up against a Championship team which they were expected to lose but made it all the way to the Quarter Finals losing to eventual champions United while also beating Brighton who before being matched up against Charlton beat Premier League leaders Arsenal.  I think the favorite had to be the City. I think the Brentford vs. The Gillingham game had to be the biggest upset, Brentford, a Premier League team being eliminated by a 4th tier side, is just unacceptable. My favorite game was definitely City v Liverpool. The game had me on my toes. It was for sure one
