What is at stake for Barcelona and Newcastle?

Five-time European winners Barcelona last had their hands on the Champions League trophy in 2015 and will back themselves to progress deep into this season’s competition if they can overcome Newcastle.

Historically, the Catalan giants have excelled after a first-leg away draw in UEFA competition, progressing in 23 of their 29 such ties. This includes an impressive 11 wins from 14 occasions when the opening leg finished 1-1, mirroring last week’s result.

As for Newcastle, Wednesday’s contest arguably represents the biggest game in the club’s recent history, as they endeavour to pull off an upset and reach the Champions League quarter-finals for the very first time.

The Magpies have only lost two of their 11 UCL fixtures this term (W6 D3), though one of those was a 2-1 home defeat to Barcelona in the League Phase, with England international Marcus Rashford scoring both goals for the La Liga side.
