00:00 I'm here at, well it doesn't really need an introduction does it, Eiffel Tower in Paris,
00:06 Newcastle United, Champions League football back again tonight, PSG at the Parc des Princes,
00:11 must win game, it's been labelled as, fair assessment, Newcastle could get away with
00:16 a draw but would be depending on results elsewhere heading into that AC Milan game next month,
00:21 but yeah, you're looking, PSG in great form since the 4-1 defeat against Newcastle St.
00:29 James' Park last month, and haven't lost a Champions League group stage game at Parc
00:33 des Princes in over a decade, so enormous challenge for Eddie Howe's side, that's not
00:38 lost on the Newcastle manager or his players I'd imagine as well, hopefully they can put
00:43 in a performance that they put in fairly regularly in the Premier League this season and repeat
00:50 the performance they did in the Champions League game against PSG St. James' Park,
00:55 because other than that game they haven't really turned up, it hasn't really clicked
00:59 in the Champions League for Eddie Howe's side. No goals on the road in the Champions League
01:05 this season, a goal to celebrate for the away fans, a few of them dotted around here at
01:10 the moment, just something to celebrate and hopefully a win, or at least a point but realistically
01:18 a win going back into that final game is what they need and they go into it with a significantly
01:26 depleted squad, they can name up to 23 players in their matchday squad in the Champions League,
01:31 Newcastle will only be able to name 18 and of those 18 will be three goalkeepers and
01:35 four under-21s players, one of which will be Lewis Miley, expect him to potentially
01:42 make his full Champions League debut at just 17 years old, already Newcastle's youngest
01:47 ever European player, make a debut with PSG, that's some going, but hey he looks up to
01:52 the challenge based on that performance, he put in against Chelsea at the weekend, so
01:57 yeah big challenge for Newcastle but hopefully this isn't the last European away day this
