Liverpool fans booed the national anthem before the Carabao Cup final against Newcastle at Wembley Stadium. This reaction stems from a long-standing opposition to the establishment, particularly since the 1980s and the Hillsborough disaster. The booing has become a tradition during significant matches, reflecting feelings of social and economic inequality. Liverpool supporters express frustration over perceived neglect by the government and the royal family, which they see as symbols of class disparity. In recent years, Liverpool has faced pressure to play the anthem during key events. However, the club acknowledges the strong feelings among fans and allows individual reactions to the anthem.
