Newcastle painted London in black and white Covent Garden on Saturday night to the lamp tubes full of park bound for Wembley Park on Sunday afternoon, and felt as if there were 10 geordies for each Liverpool fan in the capital.
In the field, the story was similar.
The Arne tragamoneas worked badly in the worst possible time, following its European departure with a final defeat of the Carabao Cup. Although the Dutch boss did not agree, Newcastle seemed more hungry, more intense and more energetic than his languid side of Liverpool.
It has been a fight to find something negative to say about this team throughout the season, but go, they chose the worst time to include their worst campaign performance. They did not look at the races from minute one and failed to get any blow to Newcastle until it was too late.
After falling to Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday night, this week can be labeled as the most forceful of the season, although we should not forget that Liverpool was far from being poor against the French champions, the second best came out.
But it cannot be hidden that this was the worst performance of a team of the Reds in a final since before most of these players were born. Where was the urgency? Where was the attitude of Never-Say-Die that has chosen the Premier League champions of this team?

This was the worst performance of Liverpool in a final for many years. Where was his hunger?

This has been a week of bruises for the Reds and Newcastle surpassed them thoroughly.

Arne Slot did not agree with that opinion, but it is up to him to ensure that the team learns from this
The 11 headlines will have approached their planes on Sunday night, knowing that each and every one of them were far from the very high standards that have established this season, some substitutes gave a little impulse to be fair, but in general it was sub-part.
Mohamed Salah has been the best player in England and probably Europe this season, but, in the largest week of the Liverpool season, it has not been seen anywhere. INEFICA IN TWO GAMES AND THAT, you must say, only demonstrates the lack of depth in the attack areas.
Diogo Jota and Luis Díaz were also poor in both accessories, as did Darwin Núñez from the bank. Perhaps a reactionary shot, but this week has just highlighted how the strengthening of the three strikers should be a necessity this summer for Liverpool.
One of the positive aspects to get out of Wembley's defeat was the attacker Federico Chiesa, who left the bench to score and performed a good performance in Cameo.
The Italian has played only 25 minutes of the league this season, but, in this evidence, it deserves a beginning about Jota or Díaz soon … surely. Its prolific end was the type of decision in the penalty area that Liverpool has lacked and ran with intention and passion.
And for those fans they wonder which Mot men would be lost if Trent Alexander-Arnold accepts an offer from Real Madrid and leaves this summer, just look at this game. There was no creativity, or unorthodox balls of the depths that generally make Liverpool so threatening.
All credit must go to Eddie Howe, Newcastle and his fans for his triumph, but Liverpool was dominated in the air and also seemed to lose in physical battle.
Slot, who left the stadium in casual jeans and a sweater, now has more than two weeks to think about this disappointment. The Dutchman could want to return directly to action, but, in truth, the time of inactivity will already do it to him already his squad of the good of both physical and mentally.

This is not a time to panic, but Liverpool must learn from this set of crushing results.
This is the first time in his managerial career that Slot has lost two games in a row, so he will not be accustomed to the negative thoughts that will inevitably have felt while detached to enjoy, or maybe not, a few days off.
So what follows? This is not time to panic. It is not the time of post -mortame autopsolcadas of a disappointing week.
There is a league title to win and Liverpool needs to dusty before the next game on April 3 against an Everton team that has not lost in nine games of the League.
But they say you learn more about yourself in times of difficulties and the slot will have taken many lessons this week.
Time is a healer and winning the Merseyside derby will be only the tonic to leave behind this bad set of results.
He is now in slot to gather his troops and make sure his team stays in progress for what will continue to be a first remarkable campaign in England.
