And those fans have been lapping up the occasion in Covent Garden, with pre-match gatherings beginning in Trafalgar Square on Saturday evening, ahead of the Sunday afternoon kick-off.
Among those involved in the excitement, was Juliette Pastore, the fiancee of Newcastle and Italy midfielder Sandro Tonali.
A picture posted by Joelinton’s partner Thays Gondim De Lira, who has also been getting involved with the celebrations, showed Juliette posing in front of a flag that had Tonali’s face cropped onto the Birra Moretti logo.

Juliette has been a regular at St James’ Park since Tonali made the switch from AC Milan in 2023. She was by his side when he stepped off the private jet to complete his move and appears to have settled into life in the North East.
There was more reason for the couple to be happy with their new life in Newcastle after the two announced their engagement earlier this month with a post on Instagram.
