Newcastle's Bruno Guimaraes Received One Of Loudest Cheers Of The Night After Showboating At Corner Flag

Unsurprisingly, Guimarães' individual brilliance received one of the loudest cheers of the night. You can see the footage below.

He was linked with a move elsewhere, with Arsenal reportedly interested in his services, but he opted for the North East.

When asked why he decided to join the Magpies, the ambitious midfielder said he has great belief in Newcastle's long term project.

"They didn’t disguise that the main objective and challenge was remaining in the Premier League this season," he said.

"But in the seasons coming, the objective is to be in the Champions League and eventually to win the Champions League.

"I believe in the project, I believe in everything they spoke to me about."

He added: "We are definitely going to be a club that is going to be a big power in world football. This is a historic club with a great tradition and a beautiful history, I have no doubts about my decision to come to Newcastle.

“Newcastle have presented something really interesting. I was so happy with the trust and faith the directors and president placed in me.

‘I am someone who is driven by challenges.”
