‘Only we know’: Newcastle United star’s wife opens up about personal ‘sacrifice’ to achieve current form

Miguel Almiron’s partner has opened up about the sacrifice the Newcastle United player has made in order to achieve his current success.

The Paraguayan has scored three goals in the last five games including a historic goal against European heavyweights PSG- United’s first Champions League goal in over 20 years.

However, up until the Magpies’ 0-8 annihilation of Sheffield United, Miggy’s form had been dipping having not scored a Newcastle goal since Wolves on the 12th March.

But it looks like the winger is finding his feet once again, something his partner Alexia Notto is incredibly proud of.

The Paraguayan told her 276k followers to ask her questions about her life on Instagram and one posed to her was about Miggy’s current form.

In Spanish, they asked: ‘How do you feel about everything Almiron is achieving?’

“Happy, proud and grateful to God for all this we are experiencing,” Alexia replied. “Only we know the sacrifice he makes to be where he is. And I love how God rewards all that sacrifice.”

It’s a sentiment perhaps Eddie Howe shares. After the 29-year-old’s brace against Burnley last week, the United manager claimed it was a ‘return to form.’

“He’s (Almiron) a unique footballer. I don’t think there’s anyone better at doing what he does – all energy, all action,” said Howe. “I’d like to see his physical stats today because I’m sure they’d be through the roof.

“The quality he showed with his finish was very reminiscent of some of the goals he scored last year. It’s a great return to form for Miggy – he’s such an important player for us.”
