How to Watch Newcastle vs. Barcelona on TV, Live Stream

The goal has to be glory for Barcelona in the Champions League this season, having come ever so close to returning to the competition’s showpiece event in 2024–25.

Barça were on the receiving end of the ultimate ’Pazza Inter’ experience in last season’s semifinals, eventually succumbing to the Nerazzurri in extra time following a remarkable tie.

Hansi Flick’s side, who claimed three domestic trophies during the German’s first season in charge, were the standout team of the first-ever league phase, but they have their work cut out if their to start this season’s edition on a positive note.

St. James’ Park has swallowed up giants in the past, and Eddie Howe’s Newcastle will be keen to repeat the heroics of Faustino Asprilla in September 1997 on Thursday night.
