Bruno Guimaraes is refusing to let his dream of playing in the Champions League in a Newcastle United shirt cloud his thoughts ahead of the trip to Villa Park.
Bruno has never held back when asked about the levels of his ambition at St James' Park and said on day one as a Toon player he felt the club could be a global force. And he knows fine well that playing in the UEFA Champions League will help him realise his own lofty targets as a player.
But with a top four place seemingly in reach for Newcastle, Bruno preferred to go down the cautious route for now. When asked if he was able to think about the Champions League Bruno told Chronicle Live: "Not yet, there are still too many games to play. We are on the way but we cannot think about the Champions League. It is game by game but of course, we will fight for it until the end."

Victory in the second city against Unai Emery's men would put Newcastle in a great position going into next Sunday's potential Champions League decider.
When asked if it could all boil down to the visit of Spurs - with Newcastle three points ahead of the London side and having a game in hand over them - Bruno said: "We are not thinking about Tottenham now. Our focus is to get some rest and think about Aston Villa. They are playing very well and won last week as well.
