The Brazil international goes in against Barcelona tonight for Newcastle's Champions League opener confident that the Magpies can help him fulfil his ambitions.

Isak, who made his first Liverpool appearance against Atletico Madrid at Anfield last night, referenced more silverware as his main motivation for leaving Newcastle.

Bruno became the first captain at Newcastle to lift a trophy since Bobby Moncur in 1969 and said: "Yes I want to win things.

"I have never changed my mind and I still look to make history at this club.

Bruno said: "I think football is business, I think the club made a choice, he's gone and I wish him all the best. I am grateful for everything we achieved together.
