The match, which extended to 123 minutes, showcased the intense rivalry between the two giants of English football. Manchester United's young talent, Amad Diallo, emerged as the hero of the night by netting the decisive goal during stoppage time in extra time.

The final whistle triggered a wave of emotions among Liverpool fans, who were left in disbelief as scenes of jubilation and chaos unfolded within the stadium. The match not only highlighted the skill and determination of Manchester United but also underscored the unpredictable nature of knockout football, where dreams can be dashed in a matter of minutes.
