In his own words, "The number tells a story more beautiful than words can say." He went on to explain, "I know people think it’s a weird number for a footballer… but for me 39 is special. No, it’s more than that. It's magical."
For Bruno, the number 39 represents a deep connection to his roots. It was the dispatch number of his father’s taxi in Rio de Janeiro, and he attributes much of his journey to that number. "The number 39 gave me everything in life," he said. "It got me here to Newcastle. It fed me, clothed me, and paid for three-hour bus rides to pursue my dream."
Guimarães joined Newcastle in January 2022 on a four-and-a-half-year deal from Lyon, where he had made a name for himself as one of Ligue 1's top performers. Since his arrival at St. James' Park, he has been an influential figure in the midfield, with standout performances contributing to the club's success. As of the 2024-25 season, he has played in numerous matches for the Magpies, establishing himself as one of the key players under Eddie Howe.
Bruno’s goals and consistent performances reflect his immense growth since his earlier days in Brazil, where he played at Athletico Paranaense and Lyon. His determination to succeed has made him a fan favorite at Newcastle.
