Lucas's cup final in Tweets
Lucas Leiva joined thousands of Kopites in helping cheer Liverpool to glory in the Carling Cup final victory over Cardiff – and afterwards he joined his teammates in celebrating the trophy win at Wembley. Here's how his day unfolded on Twitter.
The No.21 played an integral role in helping the Reds reach the final, before an injury sustained in the quarter-final win over Chelsea in December ended his 2011-12 season.
Nonetheless, Lucas was as delighted as anyone as Liverpool clinched the trophy - and he kept fans all over the world entertained and updated as he offered his own unique take on a day to remember in London via his Twitter page.
