Newcastle United's 2024/25 season start hasn't been exactly the way they would have expected. Even though having 12 points from the first seven PL matchdays, the club currently finds itself in the 7th position; their inconsistent performances have seen them go winless in the last 3 games. While the Magpies club has been brilliant on a few occasions, they have looked rather sloppy on other matchdays so far.

However, even then, Newcastle United certainly has had some major positives from their recent fixtures, which could yield serious influence on their campaign ahead. One of them has been their club captain Bruno Guimaraes' form's return. Not to forget, the Brazilian ace, after a decent performance against Southampton in the season opener, had been inconsistent for a series of games, but now that phase seems to be over.

Delivering a masterclass performance against Manchester City in the club's biggest fixture so far and impressive shows against Wimbledon and Everton, the midfielder seems nearing his best level. Moreover, Guimaraes' rough phase with the national side seems over as well, as the player, after being benched, has returned stronger than ever to justify his place in the starting XI.

Having delivered an impactful second-half performance against Chile, the Newcastle captain stood once again brilliant for Brazil in their 4-0 win against Peru. Returning back to the starting XI, Bruno Guimaraes was pivotal in the central midfield role, comforting Selecao's control in the fixture with his presence.

Be it making key passes, delivering long balls, or completing dribbles and ultimately being involved in Brazil's 3rd goal's build-up, Guimaraes stood impressive in the side's forward play. Moreover, having managed 78 touches and maintained an effective pass accuracy percentage, the ace midfielder seemed crucial in establishing the perfect link between the nation's forward and defensive fronts.

Clearly, having delivered back-to-back masterclass performances for Brazil on the back of brilliant games with Newcastle, the 26-year-old ace seems nearing his best. The Magpies club fans would hope that their captain maintains his brilliant run going forward, helping them to make a top-4 PL finish this season.
