Bruno Guimaraes made the switch from Newcastle United to Arsenal during the summer transfer window. The 28-year-old Brazilian forward is still dealing with the emotional impact of missing a crucial penalty during Brazil's World Cup match against Norway in July. That moment remains a painful memory for him, as Brazil was eliminated from the tournament in a 2-1 loss to Norway, despite taking the lead in the game. The match took place in New Jersey, with more than 80,000 fans in attendance. Brazil and Norway were locked at 0-0 when Norway's Kristoffer Ajer fouled Matheus Cunha, giving Brazil a penalty opportunity. Guimaraes was chosen to take the spot-kick but struggled with his run-up, and the shot was saved by Norwegian goalkeeper Orjan Nyland. Norway eventually won the game with two late goals, including one from Erling Haaland, and went on to face England in the quarter-finals. Guimaraes later admitted that the missed penalty still stings, describing it as a "wound" that has left a lasting emotional impact. At a recent press conference, Guimaraes spoke candidly about the experience. "It's a very bad feeling," he said. "Missing a penalty is part of football, but you're never really ready for it to happen. It still hurts me a lot that this happened." Despite the pain, he emphasized that he is determined to move forward. "I will continue my daily struggle, my dreams," he said. "If there's another penalty and it's awarded to me, I won't hide, I'll take it again a thousand times, because representing this shirt means a lot to me." Guimaraes also addressed rumors that Real Madrid star Vinicius Jr. avoided taking the penalty. He denied the claims, explaining that the decision to take the spot-kick was made by the coach. "Vini wasn't the designated penalty taker," he said. "I was the one who should have taken the penalty. I took it, I missed, I could have scored. That's part of football." While he acknowledged the criticism directed at Vinicius, he made it clear that the responsibility lay with him. Now a summer signing for Arsenal, Guimaraes is focused on his new club and aims to make an impact in the Premier League. However, he expressed a desire to return to Brazilian football in the future. "Yes, I would like to return to Brazil, to play for Vasco or Athletico," he said. "But to be honest, I'm not thinking about that now. I just arrived at Arsenal, so I'm very focused. I want to win a championship there, I want to play, I want to make my mark with this new shirt."
