Bruno Guimaraes and Joelinton were both in tears after lifting the Carabao Cup with Newcastle United on Sunday.
The Brazilian duo make up two-thirds of Newcastle United’s midfield trio who were completely dominant at Wembley.
Joelinton was the best player on the pitch according to former Newcastle star Isaac Hayden. Eddie Howe his players to be physical in the final, and Joelinton hassled Liverpool’s midfield all game long.
Alongside him was best friend and club captain Bruno Guimaraes, who put on a masterclass in midfield. Guimaraes gave an emotional speech after the full-time whistle, and there is no doubt that he has etched his name into the club history books as a legend.
Newcastle’s celebrations at Wembley were legendary, but for the club’s international players, they had to cut them short.
