Newcastle United Vs FC Barcelona Live Score, UEFA Champions League: Lamine Yamal-sans Barca Take On Magpies

Eddie Howe's plans are simple - long ball over the top with Barca's defence playing high up. A long ball and Anthony Gordon could take over. So far, so good, Barca are handling it well.

Nick Woltemade isn't playing and Anthony Gordon has been given the CF duties and the Englishman is handed a perfect opportunity by Anthony Elanga to score but the former cannot score and mistimes it.

"We're boosted by the result on Saturday. That was a big one to get off the mark in terms of Premier League wins. I think it means we go into this with a slightly different feeling. We're excited about the competition. Amazing to be part of it. I think, more than that, we want to be competitive this time and progress to the next stage."

Spoils are shared between FC Copenhagen and Bayer Leverkusen as the two teams cancel each other out.

"I expect a really strong team, a tall team with high intensity, dynamic and who win a lot of second balls," he said.

"Vertically they play really good.

"It is a team that has built over the last years. Eddie Howe and his coaching staff have done a fantastic job."

Lamine Yamal will not be a part of the FC Barcelona squad against Newcastle in the Champions League opener as the Spaniard suffered a pubis discomfort in their latest La Liga match.
