At St James' Park a week ago, the Magpies had to wait until the 86th minute for Harvey Barnes to open the scoring before Lamine Yamal levelled from the penalty spot in injury time.

The opposite has occurred in the second leg at the Camp Nou this evening, with three goals in the opening 18 minutes.

Raphinha opened the scoring with a well-taken finish past Aaron Ramsdale before Anthony Elanga hit back 10 minutes later.

Barcelona then restored their lead in the 18th minute as Marc Bernal tapped in from inside the six-yard area.

Plenty of time for more goal-mouth action in this crazy tie!
