Newcastle United vs Barcelona. Newcastle United plays Barcelona at St. James’ Park. It is their return in the UEFA Champions League group stage. It is a big game with one of Spain’s best teams. Fans want to see good play in what should be a fun night in Europe.
Newcastle just had a 1-0 win over Wolves in the Premier League. Nick Woltemade scored in his first game. Now, they want to take that good form to Europe. They have not done well in the Champions League of late (W1, D3, L4 in their last eight games). But their win at home over PSG shows how good they are at St. James’ Park. They have won six of their last eight games there.
Barcelona has not lost in La Liga (W3, D1). They come here after a big 6-0 win over Valencia. Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha, and LĂłpez all scored two goals. This is their 30th year in a row in the Champions League. They have a good record in the group stage. They lost just three of their first 29 games (W20, D6). When they play English teams, they have 12 wins in their last 16 UCL games (D2, L2).
Some players are hurt. Lamine Yamal, Frenkie de Jong, and Gavi did not play in the last game. But there is good news. Marcus Rashford could be a key man. He has five goals and three assists in 11 games he has been in from the start against Newcastle.
Barcelona has won the last three games with Newcastle. They still have a strong record in Europe against teams from England.
Newcastle United: Pope; Trippier, Schär, Burn, Livramento; Tonali, Guimarães, Joelinton; Elanga, Woltemade, Gordon.
Barcelona: J. GarcĂa; Kounde, E. Garcia, CubarsĂ, MartĂn; Casado, Pedri; Raphinha, FermĂn, Rashford; Lewandowski.

More think Barcelona will win, but how Newcastle plays at home could make the game a close one.
Barcelona is a good team with many good forwards. This should give them the lead in the game. Newcastle will play hard at home and may score a goal. But the other team has more power to score, and that should be the key.
Our guess for the score: Newcastle United 1-3 Barcelona
