This was an epic journey. This is the story of the Carling Cup run that took Cardiff City to Wembley for the forth time in five years; to their first League Cup Final appearance, and just a spot kick away from the ultimate prize. With a renewed energy under Malky Mackay, the Bluebirds embarked on a memorable journey, overturning the likes of Crystal Palace, Blackburn Rovers, and Leicester City along the way to set up an enticing Wembley showdown with Liverpool.Going into the final with nothing to lose City gave Liverpool the fight of their lives and delivered a performance to be proud of, missing out only to the lottery of penalties. Taking the lead inside 20 minutes, Joe Mason's strike gave Cardiff hope, only for Skrtel to equalise midway through the second half to set up a nail biting round of extra time. All looked lost when Kuyt netted another for Liverpool but Cardiff were not finished yet as, with just minutes to spare, Ben Turner found the net, sending the travelling Cardiff support into raptures, and setting the scene for an epic penalty shootout. Playing eight matches, over 870 minutes of pulsating football, and with three nail biting penalty shootouts, this was a pulsating journey filled with great goals and unforgettable memories and this programme delivers the very best action from each round plus extended highlights from the most exciting Wembley final seen in years.
