After Newcastle United’s defeat to AC Milan, Bruno Guimaraes took to social media to convey a message to the fans. Despite the disappointment of being eliminated from the Champions League and European competition altogether, Bruno expressed pride in the team’s performance and assured supporters that they would continue to fight for the club.
Despite dominating the first half and deserving a lead, Milan’s effective second-half strategy took advantage of a fatigued Newcastle team. The defeat means Newcastle can now focus solely on domestic competitions, including an upcoming Carabao Cup quarter-final.
Bruno acknowledged the difficulty of accepting the outcome and expressed pride in the team and fans. Despite the setback, he emphasized the importance of moving forward with heads held high, stating, “It’s hard to accept what happened today! I think we deserved more. I am very proud of our team and our fans. We have to go on with our heads held high! Nobody said it would be easy! Whatever happens, Newcastle United will never be defeated.”
Reflecting on Newcastle’s unexpected presence in the Champions League, the article notes that the team was not fully prepared for the intensity and quality of opposition. Despite this, their performance was deemed impressive. Looking ahead, the experience gained in European competition positions Newcastle to build towards a return in the near future.
The article also suggests that last season, Newcastle’s realistic targets should have been the Europa League or Conference League, allowing for more rotation and less pressure. While expectations have risen due to last year’s success, the current target for Eddie Howe’s side is to finish in the top six and establish themselves as a quality team.
