‘To be honest’: Bruno Guimaraes shares what he found ‘strange’ in Newcastle’s first CL game

With Newcastle United’s second Champions League game of the season on the horizon, Bruno Guimaraes has been reflecting on the draw with AC Milan.

The Magpies kicked off their Champions League campaign with a 0-0 draw inside the San Siro, in a game that was described as the worst in the competition’s history.

That was a crazy statement from Arturo Vidal, but it was a game that saw Newcastle do a lot of defending. Eddie Howe’s side battled for their lives, then nearly robbed it at the end. However, Sean Longstaff’s effort was tipped over the bar to deny Newcastle victory.

But that was our only chance on what was a difficult night for the Toon attackers.

It was not a vintage performance from the Magpies, and now Bruno has looked at where they went wrong at the San Siro.

It was a strange performance from Newcastle. A lot of players looked stunned by the grand stage of the Champions League, while AC Milan were much more comfortable in their surroundings.
