Midfielder Bruno Guimarães recalled the defeat to the opponent in South American Qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup, but believes in a good result.
“In the qualifiers, we started well, we went 1-0 up and set our pace. But after 20 minutes they were better. They are a physical team, they have good players, but I believe we have every chance of winning. It will be a great game, a great test. Colombia are a thorn in our side that we will try to get rid of in the next game,” said the Newcastle midfielder.
