Fabian Schar's emotional response hits home as Newcastle stars begin to run out of time

Newcastle United defender Fabian Schar must wait for the chance to achieve his 'dream' of winning a trophy on Tyneside after Sunday's Carabao Cup final defeat to Manchester United. The 31-year-old soldiered on, as ever, after an early clash of heads with Lisandro Martinez at Wembley Stadium but couldn't help his side to victory at the national stadium.

Schar responded to the 2-0 defeat with an emotional social media message in which he said it had always been his intention to bring silverware to St James' Park ever since joining the north east outfit. While many Newcastle fans are convinced Sunday is only the start of a bright, new, final-filled era for the club, nobody knows when the Magpies will be back at the national stadium.

"Still hard to find words. Since I came to Newcastle my dream was to win a trophy for this club and the fans. To give all the people around this club what they deserve," the Swiss defender wrote on Instagram.
