WELCOME TO ST. JAMES’ PARK!!! The iconic home of one of England’s most historic clubs is the site of a gigantic European clash between Newcastle and Barcelona, who face each other in the first leg of their Champions League Round of 16 tie. Barça come into this one looking for a solid result to take back home for next week’s second leg at Camp Nou, but Newcastle have already shown Barça this season that they cannot be taken for granted and will be especially tough to beat in front of their incredible home crowd.

We don’t have a lot of rules here, but there are a few things to keep in mind when joining our matchday threads:
Even if the referee sucks or we lose the game, watch the swearing. It’s just unnecessary. Also, don’t discuss illegal streaming links. Those who do it will be warned, and those who post links will be instantly banned. Finally, be nice to each other. This is a Barcelona community and we don’t need to offend one another.
Have fun with the game! Forever and ever, no matter the competition, VISCA EL BARÇA!
