Newcastle's Champions League hopes hinge on beating a European giant.
Newcastle's chances of advancing in the Champions League will be put to the test as they face either Barcelona or Chelsea in the last 16. Eddie Howe says Newcastle can "raise their game" and "compete with anybody" after they swept aside Qarabag in the Champions League knockout play-offs. This confidence comes after Newcastle secured a 3-2 win over Qarabag, setting up a potentially decisive tie against one of Europe's top teams.
The outcome of this upcoming match will have significant implications for Newcastle's standing in the Champions League, and Eddie Howe's statement suggests the team is prepared to elevate their performance to compete with the likes of Barcelona or Chelsea. As Newcastle moves forward, their ability to "raise their game" will be crucial in determining their success in the tournament.
