'My name in history' - Bruno Guimaraes fulfils promise to Newcastle United supporters
Newcastle United beat Liverpool 2-1 in the Carabao Cup final - and Bruno Guimaraes was the first Magpies’ skipper to lift a domestic trophy since 1955.
Newcastle United skipper Bruno Guimaraes has written his name in history - just like he promised.
The Brazilian was instrumental in the Magpies winning their first domestic trophy for 70 years as they brushed aside Liverpool in a one-sided 2-1 victory.
And the captain, speaking to Sky Sports, delighted post-match in writing his own bit of history, as he lifted the Carabao Cup aloft at Wembley.
“It's all for these fans,” Guimaraes told Sky Sports. “They deserve everything. When I first came here I said I wanted to put my name in history.
"We can now say we are the champions again. This is one of the best days of my life.
“I don't have any words. It's the best day of my life. For them [the fans] it's like the World Cup. People have grown up and not seen us as champions. My first year as captain of this club and it's one of the best days. This is unbelievable.
“This is my second home. We are making history. Some day when I leave this club I want the fans to sing my name the way they do to Shearer. He text me before the game. I'm so emotional today."
