Newcastle United are back in Champions League action on Wednesday night as excitement builds for their first home game of their 2023-24 European campaign.
The Magpies started their Champions League adventure with a 0-0 draw at AC Milan and are now putting the final touches on their preparations for the visit of Paris Saint-Germain.
Looking ahead to the game, Magpies boss Eddie Howe said: “I can’t wait to experience the home atmosphere and what our fans create. I think it will be a really memorable night and hopefully our performance will make it that way, too.
“The fans will bring their positivity, noise, enthusiasm and love for the game. It’s up to us to use that powerfully and positively on the pitch. You can use too much emotion on the pitch, but I think we’ve been getting that balance right at home.”
