VIDEO: Cup hero Caballero in tears after dazzling penalty display
Reuters
Manchester City's second-choice shot-stopper Willy Caballero was the unlikely hero Sunday at Wembley Stadium, stopping three Liverpool penalties as Manuel Pellegrini's lot lifted its fourth League Cup trophy.
The 34-year-old Argentine was overcome by emotions during a postmatch interview before Wilfried Bony intervened, hoisting the former Malaga 'keeper onto his shoulders to the elation of City supporters in attendance.
Maligned for a poor performance a week ago during a 5-1 FA Cup defeat to Chelsea, Caballero proved his worth, helping City capture its second League Cup in three years.
Pellegrini on picking Cabellero: "I prefer to lose a title (the cup) than to lose my words (trust)"
