Champions League 2023-24: Saudi-backed Newcastle faces Champions League reality check

The Hindu  

Newcastle must overcome the might of Paris Saint-Germain and a mounting injury list if the Magpies’ first foray into the Champions League for 20 years is not to come to a premature end on Tuesday. Damaging back-to-back defeats to Borussia Dortmund have left Eddie Howe’s men sitting bottom of a devilishly difficult Group F, also featuring last season’s semifinalists AC Milan. The demolition of the French champions in their first home Champions League match for two decades appeared a statement of intent from a coming power of European football. Newcastle’s rise into the Premier League’s top four last season came quicker than expected and it was then handed by a distance the toughest Champions League group in this season’s draw.
