Newcastle 2 Athletic Bilbao 0 – Wednesday 5 November 2025 8pm
The photo that Newcastle United fans had all really really wanted to see on Wednesday!
Eddie Howe leading his team to another Champions League victory.
That makes it three wins in Europe in a row.
Whilst this also marks five home wins in a row in all competitions.
A goal in each half, with Dan Burn and Joelinton heading United to another three points in the Champions League.
Two great deliveries from Kieran Trippier and Harvey Barnes.
A winning snapshot post-match.

The all important winning photo = The eighth of the season.
Also, three Champions League photos in a row, Eddie Howe’s side victorious in all of their last three UCL matches.
The Newcastle United Head Coach introduced this tradition of a post-match everybody included photo following each victory, as he felt it had worked as a bonding exercise when he was at Bournemouth.
It is also a massive bonus just how much it winds up fans of certain other clubs and journalists.
‘Look at them, think they have won the Premier League / Champions League… etc etc’
I absolutely love it.
At least 34 more games to go this season in all competitions, so hopefully a fair few more of these photos to come.
