Carabao Cup win worth more than Champions League cash
The Chronicle
|October 29, 2025
EDDIE Howe has insisted winning the Carabao Cup again this season with Newcastle United would mean more than a cash-laden run to the latter stages of the Champions League.
Howe's side have Tottenham Hotspur standing in their way of a place in the quarterfinals this year, but will only get a cheque of £15,000 for seeing off Thomas Frank's side.
Lifting the Carabao Cup is worth just £100,000 in prize money to the Saudi-backed Magpies with that amount dwarfed by the £1.8m UEFA payment picked up for last week's 3-0 victory over Benfica.
After breaking the club’s 70-year domestic trophy drought and seeing 300,000 people attend Newcastle's open-top bus parade back in March, after beating Liverpool in the Wembley showpiece, Howe will not be reviewing his priorities - despite the huge sums on offer from Europe.
Howe said: "I can assure you that money is the last thing on the players’ mind, when they are competing. You are just competing to win.
