After helping Newcastle end a seventy-year wait for a major trophy, Kieran Trippier had a hilarious conversation with Micah Richards, who had been a former teammate of his throughout his career.
At Wembley, the Magpies defeated Liverpool by a score of 2-1 to claim the Carabao Cup. The goals scored by Dan Burn and Alexander Isak for Eddie Howe’s team were both on target.
Federico Chiesa, who came on as a substitute, scored late in the game to set up a tense finish, but Newcastle managed to hold on for a victory that they deserved. This victory will undoubtedly cause joyous celebrations in the North East.
After walking up the Wembley steps, former England defender Trippier, along with co-captains Bruno Guimaraes and Jamaal Lascelles, were able to get their hands on the trophy. This was a very different experience for many members of the Newcastle group, who had previously been defeated by Manchester United in the 2023 final.
After the victory, he gave an interview to Kate Scott, Thierry Henry, and Richards on CBS Sports. It appeared to be the first time in the history of the show that Trippier had ever expressed his admiration for the former right-back.
In a rare instance, Trippier referred to Richards as a “decent player” after revealing that he was the reason he left Manchester City. Richards is frequently criticised for his career, but Trippier’s statement was an exception.
Trippier was a member of City’s team that won the FA Youth Cup in 2008 and came up through the ranks at the club. However, due to the fact that Richards was occupying the right side of defence, he was unable to make an appearance for the club’s first team.
With regard to his career, the former Atletico Madrid player stated, “I do not have any regrets.” With the exception of Micah, I was unable to participate in the Man City event. It was necessary for me to depart. He was a player of some calibre!
Trippier’s kind words to Richards prompted Richards to ask the 34-year-old, “Can you just explain to people that I was a good footballer on this show?!”, in response to the kind words that Trippier had spoken to Richards.

In addition, Richards was involved in yet another hilarious circumstance involving a different Newcastle player. He was also the player who scored goals and was named Man of the Match. Burn carried out the Fortnite celebration that is most characteristic of the defender, which left the rest of the panel in fits of laughter.
After receiving his first call-up to the England squad, Burn had a fantastic week that culminated in this result, which culminated in a great end to the week. Following the defeat to Spain in the final of the Euro 2024 competition, Trippier decided to retire from international duty. However, Burn, along with his teammates Tino Livramento and Anthony Gordon, provides the Newcastle team with a representation in the Three Lions.
