Newcastle vs PSG: Champions League Clash at St James Park
Newcastle United is set to host French champions Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in an epic Champions League clash at St James Park on Wednesday night. This momentous occasion marks Newcastle’s first Champions League match on Tyneside in over 20 years.
Impressive Form for Newcastle United
Eddie Howe’s side returned to Europe’s elite competition with a goalless draw against Italian giants AC Milan at the San Siro. Since then, Newcastle has been in impressive form, winning their last three games in all competitions against Sheffield United, Manchester City, and Burnley.
PSG’s Indifferent Start
On the other hand, PSG has had an indifferent start to their Ligue 1 season, currently sitting fifth in the French top flight. However, they kicked off their Champions League campaign with a 2-0 victory over Borussia Dortmund.
