At 3 am tonight, in the first round of the Champions League, Newcastle played against Barcelona at home. Before the game, Newcastle midfielder Guimaraes did not say Isaac when talking about the world's best player, and was teased by fans.

The Magpies will return to the Champions League on Thursday, their first European top event since 2023, and they face one of the favorites to win this year. Before Newcastle's Champions League matchup with Barcelona, ​​Guimaraes was asked to speak out about the four top players he thought of. The Brazilian star listed his "four major players" in his mind: Barcelona's Yamal and Rafinia, and Paris Saint-Germain's Vitina and Dembele.

Although the roster looks strong, many fans immediately pointed out that the missing name was "obvious" and Guimaraes' former Newcastle teammate Isaac. Isaac left Newcastle this summer to join Liverpool through a protracted transfer storm, and the Swedish striker is regarded by many as one of the strongest strikers today.

Since Guimaraes did not mention this teammate who had played side by side, fans speculated that he might be because of his grudges about Isaac's way of leaving St. James Park.

A fan wrote: "Someone is so sad because Isaac went to Liverpool."

Another person added: "Brothers do not agree with Isaac."

The third person left a message: "Where is Isaac, brother?"

The fourth person asked: "Is there no Isaac position on the list?"

Isaac forced his palace to leave the team this summer, refusing to play for Newcastle, and finally transferred to Liverpool for 130 million pounds on the transfer deadline. However, when Guimaraes was asked how he viewed Isaac's departure, Guimaraes responded that he had no malice towards the Swedish.

Guimaraes said: "I think football is a business. The club made the decision to sell him. Isaac has left the team, and I wish him all the best. After all, we used to fight side by side. But now is not a time to look back on the past, but to focus on the future and focus on tomorrow's game."
