How to watch Newcastle vs Barcelona: TV channel and live stream for Champions League today | OneFootball

Champions League football returns to the north-east

Newcastle host Barcelona in one of the standout games of the Champions League’s first matchday.

Eddie Howe’s side were knocked out in the group stage two years ago after being drawn in the ‘Group of Death’ alongside Paris Saint-Germain, AC Milan, and Borussia Dortmund, but they made their mark early with a 4-1 drubbing of Paris in the north-east.

They will be hoping for a similar performance this time around as they face Hansi Flick’s La Liga champions, who could be without star man Lamine Yamal, who has been struggling with a groin injury of late.

Newcastle themselves will be without summer signings Yoane Wissa and Jacob Ramsey as both find themselves tied to the treatment table.

Nick Woltemade made a goalscoring start to life on Tyneside as he netted the winner on debut against Wolves last weekend, and he will be hoping to hit the ground running in the Champions League.

Marcus Rashford is likely to make a return to England after leaving Manchester United on loan for Spain in the summer.
