My thoughts

I think one thing I can confidently predict, none of the remaining three Champions League matches for Newcastle United will be goalless draws!

All three of these opponents score and concede goals.

Three tough opponents, as evidenced by results on Wednesday.

In their domestic leagues, PSG, Leverkusen and PSV have played 37 league matches between them and lost only four of them.

Whilst in the Champions League, they have lost one game each of the five they have played.

This is how the Champions League table now looks on Thursday (27 November 2025) morning:

As you can see, Newcastle United now in 11th place in the Champions League table. All to play for.
