Newcastle United vs Barcelona. Newcastle United are back in the UEFA Champions League group stage. Their first game is a big one. They play the great team from Spain, Barcelona, at St. James’ Park. Fans hope the team will play well on what should be a great night in Europe.
The team got a good lift last week. They won their first Premier League game of the year, 1-0 over Wolves. Nick Woltemade scored in his first game. The boss will hope the young player can feel good and play well in Europe too.
Newcastle has not done well in the Champions League of late. They have just one win in their last eight games (D3, L4). But that win was at home over PSG. This shows they can be hard to beat at St. James’ Park. Newcastle has also won six of their last eight home games of all kinds.
As for who can play, Anthony Gordon is in. His ban is only for home games. Yoane Wissa, a new player, is out.
Barcelona have not lost yet in La Liga (W3, D1). They won their last game big, 6-0 over Valencia. Robert Lewandowski scored two goals. Raphinha also got two, and LĂłpez scored two more. This shows how well they can score.
This is Barça’s 30th year in a row in the Champions League. They tend to start well. They have only lost three of their first 29 group games (W20, D6). When they play teams from England, they also do well. They have 12 wins in their last 16 UCL games (D2, L2).
The team has some hurt players, though. Lamine Yamal, Frenkie de Jong, and Gavi did not play in the last game. They may not play in this one. Marcus Rashford, who is new to the team, could be a key man. He has been a part of eight goals in 11 games from the start against Newcastle (5 goals, 3 assists).
Barcelona have won the last three games between the teams. They have done well against teams from England in Europe.
Newcastle United: Pope; Trippier, Schär, Burn, Livramento; Tonali, Guimarães, Joelinton; Elanga, Woltemade, Gordon.
Barcelona: J. GarcĂa; Kounde, E. Garcia, CubarsĂ, MartĂn; Casado, Pedri; Raphinha, FermĂn, Rashford; Lewandowski.
