World Footballer Bruno Guimaraes selects his top four players, however, leaving out a standout Newcastle player prompts accusations of 'saltiness' among fans.
In a summer filled with transfer drama, Swedish striker Alexander Isak made a move from Newcastle United to Liverpool FC. The £130million deadline day transfer marked a significant change for both clubs.
Isak, who was the club captain at Newcastle, forced a move away from St. James' Park by going on strike and refusing to play for the Magpies. His departure left a void in the team, but also opened up a new opportunity for other players to step up.
Newcastle's absence from European football's elite competition since 2023 came to an end with their return this season. The club is now gearing up for a crucial Champions League clash against Barcelona tomorrow.
Bruno Guimaraes, 27, has been asked about his feelings towards Isak's exit as club captain. Despite not mentioning Isak in his list of top four players, Guimaraes made it clear that he holds no ill will towards the Swedish forward. 'It's not time to look at the past,' Guimaraes said, 'but to focus on the game tomorrow.'
Guimaraes listed Barca's Lamine Yamal and Raphinha, along with PSG's Vitinha and Ousmane Dembele, as his top four players. Some fans have pointed out a glaring omission in Guimaraes' list: ex-Newcastle team-mate Alexander Isak.
Despite the omission, Guimaraes wished Isak all the best after their shared time at Newcastle. He did not mention any ill feelings towards the striker, emphasising the importance of moving forward.
Isak, now at Liverpool, has been considered by many as one of the best forwards around. With his talent and determination, he is expected to make a significant impact at his new club.
As for Newcastle, the team will be looking to make a strong start in the Champions League. With the departure of Isak, the focus is on the current squad to deliver results and continue the club's resurgence in European football.
