⚡ Haaland's Ice-Cold Wembley Preparation
City fans, Wembley is ours! Haaland watched from the bench as City dismantled Newcastle 3-1 to book our Carabao Cup final spot vs Arsenal. Already 2-0 up on aggregate, Marmoush's first-half brace and Reijnders' clinical finish made it 3-0 inside 32 minutes. Haaland entered at 72' to manage the kill - fresh legs preserved for Liverpool this weekend. Perfect rotation. Perfect result. Perfect setup for Haaland's Wembley redemption arc.
⚽ First-Half Destruction: No Haaland Needed
City were ruthless. Seven minutes in, Marmoush's clever one-two sees Dan Burn's challenge deflect past Ramsdale - 1-0. Lucky bounce? Deserved dominance. Trafford denies Willock one-v-one. Reijnders, Nico go close. Then 29th minute perfection: Semenyo's deflected cross, Marmoush heads home back post. 2-0. Three minutes later: Semenyo drives, Reijnders finishes from 10 yards. 3-0. 32 minutes. Newcastle shellshocked. Final effectively over.
🔥 Haaland's 18-Minute Victory Lap
Haaland enters 72nd minute (Semenyo off). Score: 3-1. Aggregate: 5-1. What's left?
