Newcastle United’s start to the season has been turbulent to say the least. After an unbelievably successful season last year, Eddie Howe’s side managed to secure Champions League football with a fifth place finish in the league and a Carabao Cup trophy to end the club’s 70-year drought. However, a dramatic summer involving Alexander Isak saw the Magpies lose their star striker to Liverpool which was the story of the window. Their domestic campaign has started poorly, with them sitting 10th in the League as they are now set to take on Spanish giants, Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League. Fans can expect a roaring crowd as Eddie Howe’s side look for a statement victory over Barcelona as they aim to turn the page on their theatrical summer.
Over in sunny Spain, Barcelona have started strongly in the league, with the exception of one hiccup where they drew 1-1 away to Rayo Vallecano. The Spanish Champions will be looking to end an 11-year drought in which time they have failed to get over the line in Europe’s most prestigious competition. Last season, they showed real promise until they came unstuck against Inter Milan in the semi-finals. Now, Hansi Flick will be hoping that his youthful team can use their experiences from last season to add a 6th UCL title to their trophy haul. However, Barca will be without superstar, Lamine Yamal for this one as they look to start their 2025/26 UEFA Champions League campaign with a bang.
