Barcelona are set to take on Newcastle United this evening, in what will be a must-win encounter for Hansi Flick’s men.
The Catalans are coming on the back of a 1-1 draw with Newcastle United in the first leg, meaning a win at Camp Nou will be enough to secure a berth in the quarterfinals.
Heading into this game, the Barcelona camp looks confident about their chances of securing a victory against Newcastle at Camp Nou, where the club have maintained a near-perfect record.
The show of confidence has been evident, especially after Lamine Yamal’s latest post on Instagram.
Hours before the clash, the Barcelona superstar shared a message on Instagram to all the Barcelona supporters and perhaps even Newcastle United.

Sharing a photo of himself, where only his arm is visible, the Spaniard wrote, “Montjuic was the beginning. Camp Nou is where history will be written.”
Yamal’s visible confidence comes on the back of Barcelona’s sheer dominance at Camp Nou this season, with the Catalans emerging as one of the best-performing home teams in the competition.
Yamal himself has been on a splendid goalscoring run lately and is likely to play a key role against Newcastle United.
The Spaniard was rested in the recent 5-2 win over Sevilla, featuring only during the final phase of the match.
Overall, this season, Yamal has racked up 20 goals and 15 assists across all competitions – making him the most productive player for Barcelona.
Needless to say, the youngster will be the main player in focus as Barcelona play hosts to the Magpies at Camp Nou this evening.
