Qarabag v Newcastle United: Champions League playoff – live | Champions League

Newcastle manager Eddie Howe’s words on the eve of the match:

To get to the last 16 of this competition would be an incredible achievement and we’re trying to embrace it in that way. We’re trying to look at the excitement and the possibility rather than feel too much of the burden of the pressure of the occasion. We want to turn these moments and these games into history opportunities and into moments people talk about for a long time. There’s a real excitement with this game and the travel and the number of supporters we’re bringing, so it’d all set to be a great occasion. Then of course, we have to do our bit. We have to bring our A game, we have to approach the game the right way in terms of our attitude – I know we will – and then we have to deliver like we have in our last two away games.”
