A Historic Night at St James' Park

Two decades after their last Champions League home game, Newcastle delivered a night to remember at St James' Park. With a spectacular 4-1 triumph over Paris Saint-Germain, goals from Miguel Almiron, Dan Burn, Sean Longstaff, and Fabian Schar signalled the Magpies' assertive comeback to Europe's elite competition.
Champions League Group Dynamics

Eddie Howe's rejuvenated Newcastle side currently reigns supreme in this season's most challenging group. With a win and a draw, their four points surpass PSG by a margin. Elsewhere, European giants Borussia Dortmund and AC Milan settled for a point each in a goalless draw, intensifying the group's competition.
