Newcastle vs Barcelona: what to know about the match?

Last season, Newcastle finished fifth in the Premier League table and secured a return to the Champions League. Over the summer, the Magpies lost Alexander Isak, who moved to Liverpool, but strengthened their squad with the signings of Voldemate and Wissa. Their start to the new domestic campaign has been far from ideal, failing to win any of their first three matches with two draws and a defeat. Only in their most recent outing did they finally clinch a 1–0 victory over Wolverhampton.

Barcelona, meanwhile, reached the Champions League semi-finals last year and were crowned La Liga champions. The new season has opened strongly for the Catalan giants, with back-to-back wins — 3–0 against Mallorca and 3–2 over Levante. They dropped points in a 1–1 draw with Rayo Vallecano in round three, but bounced back emphatically with a 6–0 demolition of Valencia in their last game. However, there is bad news for fans: teenage sensation Lamine Yamal is sidelined with an injury and will miss this match.
