Newcastle United favourite Joelinton marked his Brazil debut with a goal on Saturday as his country ran out 4-1 winners over Guinea in Spain. The Magpies midfielder opened the scoring in the first-half as he made no mistake to poke home from a few yards out.
Joelinton fell to his knees at the corner flag of the RCDE Stadium, the home of Espanyol in Barcelona. The Newcastle man could not have enjoyed a better start to life as a fully-fledged international star.
The man of the moment was interviewed at half-time on the touchline and admitted he has been imagining such a moment since he was a child. "I was dreaming in the bedroom, imagining this moment. First game of the national team, it is a great pride," he said.
