Newcastle United’s Bruno Guimaraes Celebrates Carabao Cup Win with Explicit Sunderland Chant
Newcastle midfielder Bruno Guimaraes celebrated the club’s Carabao Cup victory by joining fans in an explicit chant aimed at rivals Sunderland during the trophy parade. The Newcastle captain embraced the opportunity to participate in the chant, originally created for teammate Sandro Tonali, as the Magpies marked their first major domestic trophy in decades.
Guimaraes Leads Fans in Contested Song
An estimated 150,000 jubilant Newcastle supporters gathered to celebrate the team’s Carabao Cup triumph, their first domestic silverware in 70 years. During the open-top bus parade, Guimaraes, a popular figure among the Toon Army, was filmed enthusiastically singing an adapted version of Sandro Tonali’s fan chant.
The chant, traditionally sung in support of Tonali, was modified to include derogatory remarks about Sunderland, Newcastle’s fierce rivals. It includes the lines: “Sandro Tonali, he eats spaghetti, he loves Moretti, he hates f***ing Sunderland.” Guimaraes’ participation in the chant was met with delight by Newcastle fans who lined the streets to celebrate the Carabao Cup win.
