Jamie Carragher telah melontarkan peringatan keras kepada Arsenal pasca kekalahan mereka di final Carabao Cup, dengan menyatakan bahwa skuad tersebut kekurangan bakat penyerang "istimewa" yang dibutuhkan untuk level tertinggi. Legenda Liverpool itu meyakini bahwa meskipun peluang meraih gelar Liga Premier pertama dalam 22 tahun masih terbuka lebar, Mikel Arteta harus bertindak tegas pada bursa transfer musim panas nanti.
Nathan Ake telah memberikan isyarat kuat bahwa ia mungkin akan hengkang dari Manchester City pada bursa transfer musim panas nanti. Bek asal Belanda ini masih terikat kontrak hingga 2027, namun ia mengisyaratkan bahwa masa depannya mungkin tidak lagi di Stadion Etihad setelah membantu klub tersebut menjuarai final Carabao Cup 2026.
Rayan Cherki menjadi sorotan di Wembley berkat aksi curang yang terang-terangan saat Manchester City mengalahkan Arsenal dalam final Carabao Cup. Pemain asal Prancis itu mengejek The Gunners dengan tersenyum lebar ke arah kamera sambil berpura-pura cedera setelah dilanggar oleh Ben White.
Bek Arsenal, Gabriel Magalhaes, terpaksa mundur dari skuad Brasil setelah mengalami cedera lutut saat The Gunners kalah dari Manchester City di final Carabao Cup. Meskipun bermain penuh selama 90 menit di Wembley, pemain berusia 28 tahun itu mengaku merasakan ketidaknyamanan yang cukup parah tak lama setelah peluit akhir dibunyikan. Hal ini membuat The Gunners harus menghadapi krisis pertahanan yang semakin parah saat mereka bersiap menghadapi jadwal padat menjelang akhir musim setelah jeda internasional.
Legenda Manchester United, Wayne Rooney, mengatakan bahwa ia merasa "sedih" untuk Phil Foden setelah bintang Manchester City itu hanya tampil sebentar di akhir pertandingan final Carabao Cup. Pemain timnas Inggris yang dulu selalu menjadi pilihan utama di skuad Pep Guardiola itu terpaksa menonton dari pinggir lapangan saat timnya berhasil menambah koleksi trofi di Wembley.
Kemenangan terakhir Manchester City atas Arsenal di final Piala Liga menandai dimulainya era kejayaan Pep Guardiola. Maka, kemenangan pada Minggu lalu atas The Gunners di Wembley untuk mengangkat trofi untuk kelima kalinya—lebih banyak daripada pelatih mana pun dalam sejarah kompetisi tersebut—tentu saja menjadi cara yang tepat untuk menutup dekade dominasi pelatih asal Catalan itu di sepak bola Inggris.
