Jonas Gutierrez: "It's really important that we have made it into Europe.
"When you think back to what people were saying about us at the start of last season, it is a huge statement. Nobody expected us to get there.
"There were a lot of changes in the dressing room and a lot of new players who came in but we had a really good season.
"It was always in our hands to get a place and we managed it.
"At Real Mallorca I didn't play in Europe.
"This will be my first time.
"When you sign for a club like Newcastle you always hope to play.
"I played at Real Mallorca and we played against Barcelona, Real Madrid and Valencia.
"Here I am used to playing Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea.
"I don't think it will take much to adjust."
