Sunderland duo face wrath of fans after ‘supporting’ Newcastle United Carabao Cup celebrations

The streets of Newcastle erupted in a sea of black and white as over 300,000 jubilant supporters turned out to celebrate their club’s first domestic trophy in 70 years.

The emotional Carabao Cup victory parade saw an open-top bus procession wind its way from St James’ Park to Town Moor, where Eddie Howe and his triumphant squad addressed the ecstatic crowd.

This wasn’t just a celebration – it was the cathartic release of generations of pent-up passion finally rewarded.

As images of the parade flooded social media, one Instagram post from influential football page 433 perfectly captured the moment’s significance: “70 years without a trophy. Until now. This is… what it means ” The viral post amassed nearly 400,000 likes, including two that would spark controversy across the Northeast.

Sunderland players Jenson Seelt and Salis Abdul Samed, both sidelined with injuries during their club’s Championship match against Millwall, appeared to endorse their rivals’ celebrations – a digital misstep that sent Black Cats fans into meltdown.

The social media faux pas fueled the already intense Tyne-Wear rivalry, with furious Sunderland supporters demanding the pair never wear their shirt again.

Meanwhile on stage, Newcastle captain Bruno Guimaraes stoked the flames further when leading supporters in an expletive-laden chant targeting Sunderland, prompting BBC presenters Ant and Dec to issue repeated on-air apologies for the colorful language.

Guimaraes’ passion overflowed again when revealing his pre-match team talk before the Wembley final: “I told them today we go to the pitch as players and we leave as ——- legends.” The Brazilian’s unfiltered enthusiasm encapsulated the raw emotion of a fanbase that had endured decades of disappointment before this watershed moment.

From the viral social media moments to the record-breaking crowds lining the streets, Newcastle’s celebrations transcended typical trophy parades.

This was the manifestation of renewed hope for a club and city that had waited generations for their moment in the sun.

While the players’ exuberance occasionally crossed into controversy, no apology could dampen the overwhelming joy of a community finally seeing their loyalty rewarded.

As the black and white confetti settled on Town Moor, one message rang clear – this was just the beginning of Newcastle’s new era.
