Newcastle's Midfielder Bruno Guimaraes Misses Out on Champions League Debut Against Barcelona FC
Bruno Guimaraes, the key midfielder for Newcastle United in the English Premier League, was sidelined due to injury during the club's first Champions League match of the season against Barcelona FC. Guimaraes spoke to Canal+ after the game, expressing his disappointment at not being able to participate.
Guimaraes, who joined Newcastle from Lyon in January 2022, has been a vital player for the Magpies, scoring 5 goals and providing 6 decisive passes in 38 Premier League matches last season. His absence was felt acutely in the Champions League match, which Newcastle lost 1-2.
The injury is a concern for Newcastle, as Guimaraes has become a leader on the team. His repositioning as a right midfielder last season has proven to be a successful strategy, providing balance and creativity in the team's attack.
Newcastle's next European competition game will depend on their performance in the Premier League and qualification for the Europa League. The Europa League is a secondary European football competition, lower in prestige than the Champions League, but still a valuable opportunity for the club to compete on the continent.
Meanwhile, Guimaraes' former club Lyon will be competing in the Europa League themselves. After their loss against Newcastle in the Champions League group stage, Lyon will face FC Utrecht, who play in the Dutch Eredivisie, next Thursday. Guimaraes expressed hope for his former club, saying he watches their games and hopes they win.
Lyon's last European competition game before the Champions League was a qualification match for the Europa League against Helsingborgs IF, which they won 4-0. Guimaraes played for Lyon for two years before moving to Newcastle, and was a key player for the French club before his departure.
Newcastle United's next Premier League match is scheduled after their potential Europa League match, depending on their European competition progress. The Magpies will look to bounce back from their Champions League defeat and continue their strong form in the Premier League, where they currently sit in 5th place.
