'On our day we can beat any team in the world'
Magpies captain Bruno Guimaraes has told BBC Radio Newcastle's Simon Pryde that Sunday's Carabao Cup final against Liverpool is his "best opportunity" to win silverware since arriving at the club in January 2022.
"I feel very excited for the game," he said. "Everyone in the city is very excited.
"There is big potential. We cannot wait for the day - to get there to Wembley and hopefully we can make history and fulfil our dream.
"We can see the flags in the city. It's the most important game in the past 30, 40 years so it is a big opportunity. We are not seeing this as pressure, we are seeing this as a privilege. We are hopeful to put our names and the club in history.
"We think we deserve that. We work hard every day and in this squad everyone likes each other and wants to be together. This counts for a lot.
"We know if we do this it's going to be massive for the city, for the project, for everyone. The most difficult step is obviously the first step, so we want to do this for everyone.
"Since I signed, I said I want to win something for the club and be part of the history. I take this one as my best opportunity. I cannot see another opportunity better than this one.
"It will be a very difficult game but we are on it, we are confident, we have a great squad and on our day we can beat any team in the world. We are very positive."
