This Champions League table is looking sweet on Wednesday night | OneFootball

It is looking sweet this Champions League table.

For Newcastle United fans on Wednesday morning, a very lovely sight.

A very tough opening match had seen Eddie Howe’s side very unlucky not to get something at St James’ Park, losing 2-1 to La Liga winners and last season’s Champions League semi-finalists Barcelona.

That though followed by an outstanding visit to Lotto Park for Newcastle United.

Up against the reigning Belgian domestic title winners Union Saint-Gilloise, a commanding performance from Eddie Howe’s players, fully deserving the 4-0 away win.

Then it was more of the same, the game ending Newcastle 3 Benfica 0, but in truth it could and should have been an even wider winning scoreline.

Now tonight, another Champions League victory and a third clean sheet in a row in the competition, Burn and Joelinton getting the goals as United beat Athletic Bilbao 2-0.

Remember, the top eight will automatically go through to the last 16 knockout stage.

Whilst those finishing 9th to 24th will go into two-legged play-offs to decide the other eight that will make up the final 16.

Eddie Howe’s side having now played four of their eight league matches in the Champions League so far, at the halfway pont

This is how the Champions League table now looks on Wednesday (5 November 2025) night:

As you can see, Newcastle United currently in 6th place in the Champions League table, an automatic qualifying place for the last 16 knockout stages.
