The Etihad Stadium was the center of attention on Wednesday night as Manchester City and Newcastle faced off in the Carabao Cup semi-final second leg. Manchester City, the clear favorites to reach the Wembley showpiece, dominated the first half with a ruthless performance, leading to a 5-0 aggregate score at halftime. Omar Marmoush, starting ahead of the rested Erling Haaland, scored a brace, while Tijjani Reijnders found the net for the first time in the Carabao Cup, further extending City's lead.
Newcastle, the champions from last season's final against Liverpool, displayed courage and had their moments, but Anthony Elanga's second-half goal was their only consolation across the two legs. Manchester City now advances to the Carabao Cup final against Arsenal on March 22, with Pep Guardiola aiming for his fifth trophy win. However, they face a challenging task at Wembley Stadium.
