NEWCASTLE UNITED return to the group stages of the Champions League for the first time in 21 years and it doesn’t come much bigger than a trip to the San Siro to face AC Milan on live stream.

The Geordies have been looking forward to this since they qualified last season and what a way to start.


They should be travelling to Italy full of confidence against the seven-times winners for two reasons. They ended a lean spell in the Premier League with a gutsy win over Brentford.

And AC Milan must be on a serious downer after a disastrous 5-1 spanking from Inter Milan at the weekend. It was the first time Inter had netted five goals against their rivals since 1974 and it hardly inspires confidence.
