Newcastle are no longer the most unsuccessful big club in world football after ending their 70-year domestic trophy drought by beating holders Liverpool in a dominant display at Wembley. Although Newcastle won the now-defunct Inter-Cities Fairs Cup by beating Hungarian team Újpest Dozsa in 1969, the club's supporters have always regarded the 1955 FA Cup final win against Manchester City as their last major trophy.
No other major club in world football has gone so long without winning a cup or league, and Newcastle had lost five major finals and twice finished Premier League runners-up since that 1955 success. The importance of the win was highlighted by the reaction of Newcastle players whenever they won a tackle or made a crucial clearance, with midfielders Joelinton and Bruno Guimarães -- both outstanding in the game -- repeatedly urging the supporters to roar them on even more loudly.
With Newcastle now owned by the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund, the club has the financial might to build on this success in a similar fashion to the growth of Abu Dhabi-owned Manchester City and Qatar-backed Paris Saint-Germain. Having waited so long for a trophy, though, the joy and relief of ending the barren run will unlikely be topped by anything that might now follow.
