Bruno Guimarães achieves career-best scoring year with a historic feat | OneFootball

Brazilian midfielder Bruno Guimarães is a talisman for Newcastle United this season. Last night, in a thrilling match 4-3 win over Leeds United the midfielder shone with a goal and an assist.

That goal marked Guimarães's highest-scoring season in his career, with eight goals so far. Bruno had scored seven goals in the entirety 2023/24 season which was his previous career best. His time with the Magpies is in stark contrast to during his spell in France in Lyon he scored just three times in 71 games.

Bruno Guimarães's recent performance also represented another achievement. For the first time, the midfielder scored in three consecutive matches, proving to be an indispensable part of his team.

Currently, the 28-year-old is Newcastle's top scorer in the Premier League, with eight goals, and he is also the joint top assist provider, with three, alongside Lewis Miley and Nick Woltemade.

The improvement from Bruno Guimarães from last season to this one is also noteworthy. The 11 goal contributions in 2024/25 came in 38 games, whereas this season, he reached the same number in just 20 games.

Possibly in the best form of his career, Guimarães could also be crucial for the Brazilian national team. The World Cup is just around the corner, and the midfielder is a likely starter for Carlo Ancelotti's side.
