BRUNO Guimaraes holds no grudge with Alexander Isak after he quit Newcastle United to "win trophies" with Liverpool - with the Toon skipper insisting he won't have to follow him to pick up major honours.

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 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.

"But this is not the time to look at the past, it's time to look forward to the future. We have the Barca game and we are looking forward to it."
