Newcastle host PSG in the first Champions League game on Tyneside for 20 years, but the Magpies are in a confident mood ahead of the visit of the French champions
Sean Longstaff has warned Paris Saint-Germain that the St James’ Park atmosphere will be “on steroids”⦠and can “smother” teams.
The Newcastle midfielder reckons Newcastle will take a leaf out of Liverpool ‘s Anfield playbook and come on strong against Kylian Mbappe’s French champions. As Newcastle made it four wins in a five game upbeat streak, the Tyneside crowd left pondering the big question of the week.
Can this ace version of Newcastle United blow their rivals away in the Saudi v Qatar Gulf oil money derby? It’s now five clean sheets with seven hours and 50 minutes played since the Geordies conceded a goal.
And the Newcastle of last season is returning. The intensity is back with the opposition being chased down with ferocity. The slick switches of play which wear down opponents are flowing again.
