2019 EFL Cup final

The 2019 EFL Cup Final was an association football match that took place on 24 February 2019 at Wembley Stadium in London, England, to determine the winners of the 2018–19 EFL Cup (known as the Carabao Cup for sponsorship reasons). It was contested by Chelsea and holders Manchester City, who retained their title with a 4–3 victory on penalties following a 0–0 draw after extra time; it was the first time Manchester City had successfully defended a title. As winners, they would have entered the second qualifying round of the 2019–20 UEFA Europa League, but instead qualified directly for the 2019–20 UEFA Champions League by finishing first in the 2018–19 Premier League. The final was also a rematch of that season's FA Community Shield which Manchester City won 2–0.
