Football fans are stunned after Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak made a surprising statement following his team’s 2-1 win over Liverpool in the Carabao Cup final. While Newcastle celebrated their victory, Isak took the opportunity to praise one Liverpool player in particular, Harvey Elliott, who he believed was the standout performer of the match.
In a post-match interview, Isak showered the young Liverpool midfielder with praise, admitting that Elliott’s exceptional performance was so impressive that he’d consider joining Liverpool just to play alongside him.
“We scored first in the Carabao Cup final, but let’s be honest—Harvey Elliott was the real Man of the Match! He was unstoppable, ruthless, and a pure talent! It’s tough that he didn’t get to lift the trophy because he truly deserved it. I won’t go on, but I’d join Liverpool just to play with him! With him by my side, I’d win the Golden Boot every season.”
Isak’s unexpected comments have sent shockwaves through the football world, leaving Newcastle fans in disbelief, while Liverpool supporters are already enthusiastic about the possibility of a transfer.
ELLIOTT: THE MIDFIELD MASTER, EVEN IN DEFEAT
Although Liverpool lost the final, Elliott was undoubtedly the best player on the field. His energy, creativity, and relentless pressing made him the driving force in Liverpool’s attack. He created opportunities, won duels, and led his team’s push for an equalizer.
Despite the defeat, Elliott’s performance stood out as one of the few bright spots. Many feel he was unfairly denied a winner’s medal given his remarkable contribution to the match.
