Newcastle United pair Kieran Trippier and Dan Burn are celebrating after reaching the Carabao Cup final.
A 2-1 semifinal second-leg win against Southampton sees Newcastle reach the final 3-1 on aggregate.
Burn said, "It's hard to sum it up. I've never played in an atmosphere like that. I was getting emotional and had to hold myself together.
"We had to hold our nerve after letting them back in. It was disappointing to concede, he struck it well to be fair. They were always going to come at us second half but we stuck it out."
On the importance of Nick Pope, he added: "He is massive. A lot of the stuff he does you don't even notice. He makes big saves too."
Trippier also said: "When I got injured it was difficult but I felt like it was important to travel with the lads to away games and be there for them. I wanted to help the team in a difficult moment on and off the pitch.
"I feel that pre-season was massive and the manager stamped his authority on the way he wanted to play. We have worked hard on the training pitch and long may it continue."
