Newcastle United skipper Bruno Guimaraes and his wife have been sharing snaps of their trip to Paris on social media.

When it comes to social media, Newcastle United have some of the most active players - and other halves - in the Premier League.

It gives fans a window into the private lives of the Magpies’ biggest stars - and gives personality to the player, which is a relatively new phenomenon.

Newcastle United’s Brazilian contingent have, for years, been some of the club’s most active on socials with Joelinton and wife Thays Gondim regular posters. And not far behind that pair are Bruno Guimaraes and wife Ana Lidia Martins.

With Eddie Howe giving the players a few days pre-planned rest after the Brighton and Hove Albion defeat in the fifth round of the FA Cup, some have taken the opportunity to jet off for winter mini-breaks ahead of a hectic end to the Premier League season. Oh, and of course, there is that little matter of a Carabao Cup final on March 16 v Liverpool.

Guimaraes and his wife were one of those who took the chance to get away - and it was to a regular spot, with the pair often spending ‘down time’ in Paris.

Ana shared snaps of the couple’s trip to the French capital to her Instagram story (see the video above).

First she showed the view from what looks like their hotel room, with shots down to the world famous Eiffel Tower. She captioned the shot with the French words: "Toujours la plus belle". That translates to "always the most beautiful" in English.

The Insta story then flips to what looks like a traditional French sweet shop, with no signs of Guimaraes’ favourite Kinder chocolate in sight.

The pair are then pictured together, before sharing a kiss with the caption "Pra sempre juntos pro que der e vier" in Portuguese, their native tongue. That translates to "forever together, no matter what" in English.

Guimaraes will return back to training later this week, with the Magpies next in action on Monday, where they take on West Ham United in the Premier League. That game comes just six days before the season-defining Carabao Cup final, of which Bruno will be hoping to lead his team out to victory.

Bruno digs back at critics

Guimaraes has not been short of critics of late, with some claiming his performances appear to have dipped due to fatigue.

And it seems those voices have not gone unheard by the Brazil international, with the player taking time to aim a slight dig back at those who dare to criticise.

Squawkafootball posted an image of Guimaraes’ heat map with the caption that no player has won more fouls or ground duels and played more through balls in Europe’s top five leagues this season. It’s obviously an image Bruno liked, as he then chose to share the image to his Instagram story.

However, rather than just sharing the image, he also captioned it with a zipped mouth emoji and a pair of praying hands.

It’s not out of character for Guimaraes to bite back on social media, having done so via his Twitter account in the past.
