After Newcastle lost to Barcelona 1-2, Newcastle midfielder Guimaraes accepted a post-match interview with Brazil's TNT Sports.

He said: "This result is a bit bitter. I think we controlled the game the way we did in the first half. We knew their defense was very high. From my perspective, we had two very good opportunities. If we scored the goal, the game might be different. But football did not have if."

"Barcelona scored the first goal and played better, and then made the second one, which was a world wave, and that shot was incredible. But this was just our starting point, we knew what the Champions League was like."

"Now focus on the Premier League match against Bournemouth on the weekend, and then go to Belgium to play against San Giros to win."

"We want to play games one by one, try to win every game. Of course, it would be great if we can reach the quarterfinals, but it would be great even if we just advance to the play-offs."

"We will not limit our dreams, and now every game is like the final. The Champions League has begun, and we have no points yet."
