Newcastle star Bruno Guimaraes admits playing against Manchester City is not a pleasant experience.
The Brazilian was asked about the impact he has made on the Premier League and his impressions of its top sides.
Guimaraes, whose Magpies qualified for the Champions League by finishing fourth last term, singled out City for special praise.
Per the Mail, he said: “We know Man City are a step above all teams in England. It’s the worst game when we play there. I hate it.
“It seems that we are children and they are professionals. It’s horrible.
“It feels like they’re playing with 15 and we’re playing with seven.
“You look and say, ‘Wow, it looks so blue!’. They’re all crazy good.
“Against Man City, how do you play? You go out there and let them score right away — it’s very difficult.”
