Were Newcastle hungrier than Liverpool in the EFL Cup final? Arne Slot thinks they were not.

He said: "No, because it’s 70 years since they last won a trophy maybe, but that’s for the fans. Players have 15 years to play football and they want to win every single trophy they are competing for."

"That’s also what we want. But it was a game that went the way they wanted it to go."

"And they got just before half-time some extra energy with the goal, which they probably deserved after the first 45 minutes because they were threatening us more than we were threatening them."

"I don’t think there was more hunger for them; the game went the way they wanted it to go and they are stronger in that part of football than us and that’s why they beat us."
