Newcastle 1-2 AC Milan: It all ends in heartbreak for Toons It all ended in heartbreak for Newcastle United with the final match of their Champions League journey ending 2-1, despite an incredible first half. It was an emotional and dramatic night at St James’ Park, with the first half being dominated by the home side, and AC Milan struggling to put together three passes. But in a shocking second half, Milan mounted a comeback and was able to create two moments of magic to secure the win. Joelinton’s 33rd-minute strike put Newcastle in front and in the other match…

THE SUN SAYS in the end, all the money in Saudi Arabia and all the passion of the Geordie Nation was not enough. 

Newcastle United, seemingly coasting to victory after Joelinton had thumped them into a half-time lead, were dumped out of Europe by a stunning AC Milan comeback.

And if the Geordie romantic seemed more of a dreamer than Eddie Howe, the accusation, 20 years after Robson’s Newcastle secured their passage in thrilling fashion with a late goal in the final group game, was that his modern-day counterpart had been too wild, that chasing the dream cost United.

PSG now face a tough opponent in the Champions League last-16 draw.

Arsenal and Chelsea are considering a move in the January transfer window.

The club are unlikely to make a decision.

It will have a knock-on effect.
