Newcastle fell to a 2-0 defeat to Atlético Madrid in their final preseason game of the summer with goals from former Manchester City forward Julián Álvarez and Antoine Griezmann handing Eddie Howe's side the loss.
After a goalless first half, Atlético took the lead just five minutes into the second when Alvarez got on the end of an Álex Baena ball at the back post, Griezmann doubled Atlético's lead on the hour mark on their way to a comfortable victory.
