Watch Newcastle United’s brilliant Bruno Guimaraes and Joelinton inspired flag display v Sheffield United

Brazilian and Samba fever welcomed Newcastle United and Sheffield United onto the pitch on Saturday afternoon with the Gallowgate adorned in the Brazil flag ahead of kick-off. Paying tribute to two current Brazil internationals in their squad, namely Bruno Guimaraes and Joelinton, a very loud chant of Bruno’s name soon followed the display once the teams entered the field and went through their pre-match formalities.

Blue, white, yellow and green flags were waved by supporters with a banner that, when translated from Portuguese into English, read: ‘FROM ALIANÇA AND RIO TO NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE, A HOME AWAY FROM HOME’

‘JOELINTON AND BRUNO, OUR BRAZILIAN GEORDIES’

Joelinton has recently signed a new contract with Newcastle United to extend his stay with the club whilst Bruno Guimaraes remains the centre of intense transfer speculation linking him with a move away from the club. His £100m release clause expires at the end of June.
