After the game, fellow Brazilian international Gabriel Magalhaes shared some light-hearted exchanges with his new teammate, exclaiming, “best friends now, eh?” to Guimaraes and Declan Rice.
The two players posed for a photograph together with the Community Shield trophy and their winner’s medals. Gabriel made a playful nod to one of Bruno’s previous comments about their relationship.
Bruno shared, “Rice sent me a message [saying] ‘come here, and please no more fights, now we’re friends.’ I was happy he messaged me.”
In another captured moment, Gabriel was caught on camera mimicking Bruno’s signature ‘cupping the ears’ celebration, encouraging him to join in.
Gabriel’s efforts to welcome his international colleague into the squad bode well for the team’s dynamics as they head into the upcoming Premier League season.
