00:00 So, Newcastle United moments away from recording a memorable victory here in Paris.
00:07 Liam, we've got to start at the penalties, isn't it a shame because it was such a marvellous performance
00:13 but that penalty decision, explain to me how that's a penalty because we just spoke to Eddie Howe there
00:17 and even Eddie Howe, he doesn't say much at the best of times but even he felt a little bit of injustice at the end there.
00:24 Yeah, well I don't really want to dwell on it too much, Jordan. It was a shocking decision, yes.
00:31 But I kind of want to, look I think in the short term everyone will feel that disappointment
00:37 but I think in the long term everyone will realise how proud they are of this team.
00:45 There was 11 lads out there in black and white who came to a place like this and nearly did the impossible.
00:50 11 lads in black and white who dared to dream, dared to dream and dared to make themselves proud,
00:56 make everyone who came here to watch them proud and wore that famous black and white shirt
01:02 with the crest right next to their heart and put everything out there on this pitch here behind me.
01:07 Many people did not believe Newcastle United could come here, even we doubted if they could come here
01:12 in the adversity that they face at the moment with injuries etc, we've heard it all before.
01:17 I don't think anybody believed they could come here and put in a performance like that
01:21 against some of the world's best footballers. We're just getting wrong here, team, it's closed.
01:27 They're not the most welcoming here at the Department of Finance, I'll tell you that.
01:30 But yeah, before this video runs out of time, I just want to say how proud I am to a man of every single one of them.
01:35 It wasn't a penalty, as you said Jordan, Eddie Howe is right, it was not a penalty.
01:40 There was no doubt about it, some questionable decisions in the game, but they deserved so much more.
01:48 They came here, they dared to dream and they almost wrote their own special little bit of history.
01:53 At what cost did that come? I don't know, but this was a night for disappointment in some ways,
01:59 but a night of real pride and one that everybody, I'm sure, when they wake up tomorrow morning
02:05 or think about it as the week goes on, that disappointment will dissipate and they'll just realise
02:11 that this team out there is everything that we ever wished for.
02:15 They gave everything and leave everything out on the floor and they've made us proud tonight.
