Newcastle ended its black streak of three defeats in a row, Saturday in the league against Brentford (1-0), three days before its reunion with the Champions League, Tuesday, against AC Milan. The Magpies won at home on a penalty converted by Callum Wilson (64th).
This second success in the championship, after the inaugural one on August 12 against Aston Villa (5-1), allows them to appear in eleventh place in the ranking. Third last season, Newcastle makes its return to the Champions League, twenty years after its last participation, on the field of AC Milan on Tuesday (6:45 p.m.) in Group F which also includes Paris Saint-Germain and Borussia Dortmund. AC Milan prepared very poorly for its European meeting by losing very heavily (5-1) against Inter in the Milan derby.
