Michael Laudrup relish at Swansea silverware Swansea pummel underdogs Bradford in the League Cup to claim the first major trophy in their history. Swansea players celebrate their 5-0 victory in the League Cup final against Bradford City at Wembley Source: Getty Images SWANSEA manager Michael Laudrup says his side's 5-0 rout of Bradford in the League Cup final was one of the greatest achievements of his career. Laudrup won the European Cup and lifted league titles in Spain and Italy during an illustrious career with Barcelona, Real Madrid and Juventus. But, while his achievements as a player earned him legendary status, the former Denmark winger is adamant he took just as much pride from leading Swansea to the first major trophy in the Welsh club's 100-year history. Nathan Dyer and Jonathan de Guzman both scored twice and Michu was also on target for the English Premier League side, who handed fourth-tier Bradford the biggest defeat in League Cup final history and left Laudrup saluting his players for their historic achievement. I'm very proud of my team today. I think it was a great performance," Laudrup said. As a player, I had the luck to play in the biggest teams in different countries. Swansea is not the biggest team in the Premier League but we are here winning a trophy and that is fantastic. Before arriving at Swansea in pre-season, the 48-year-old had only enjoyed limited success during his managerial career with Brondby, Getafe, Spartak Moscow and Real Mallorca. But Laudrup, whose previous taste of Wembley glory came with Barcelona in the 1992 European Cup final, has been the ideal fit for Swansea, whose players have responded to his ideas and laidback nature. "As a manager, it's absolutely at the top, winning a trophy for the first time in 100 years," he said. The first trophy is always special and now, next year, in Europe... it's a nice experience. Swansea's triumph also completed a remarkable journey for club captain Garry Monk, who came off the bench in the second half. Monk has been with Swansea since they were languishing in the fourth-tier and he acknowledged the win was a dream come true for one of the top flight's less glamorous clubs. "It has not sunk in - this is what it is all about," Monk said. ""After 10 years of hard work and the long journey we have been on, this is the pinnacle. We have deserved to put a major trophy in the cabinet.
