Watch as Newcastle United make Champions League return as famous anthem plays at San Siro

It was the moment many Newcastle United fans had been waiting for. Twenty years after hearing it last, the Champions League anthem played and this time, it hit differently.

Lining up at the San Siro before kick-off, it confirmed the Magpies truly had landed on the European stage following such a lengthy absence.

And for those in the Newcastle starting XI, particularly local lads Dan Burn and Sean Longstaff, it was a spine-tingling moment. Not since the days of Alan Shearer and Sir Bobby Robson has a United side experienced this moment.
