Heroic Manchester City keeper Willy Caballero hails "amazing" League Cup triumph

Manchester City hero Willy Caballero describes winning the League Cup as "amazing" and "emotional" after making three saves in the penalty shootout against Liverpool.

Manchester City's penalty-shootout hero Willy Caballero has described their League Cup success as "amazing" and "emotional".

The 34-year-old kept his place as City's Cup keeper ahead of Joe Hart for today's final at Wembley and turned out to be the match-winner as he made three penalty saves to help City win the shootout 3-1 following a 1-1 scoreline after extra time.

"It's amazing to win this cup," Caballero told Sky Sports News after the match. "It was a hard, hard week for me."

It is the first time in 13 years since Caballero was at Boca Juniors in his homeland that he has won a trophy at club level.

"For sure it's emotional," the stopper added. "For me, for my family."

When asked what helped him save three penalties in a row after Emre Can's panenka which began the shootout, Caballero replied: "Just intuition, and God."

City have now won four of the five League Cup finals that they have appeared in.
