Following their first-half demolition of Qarabag, Newcastle are now extremely well placed to reach the last 16 of the Champions League, even with the return leg still to be played. They will have to be at their best again in the next round, assuming they complete the job, as they will take either Chelsea or Barcelona for a place in the quarter-finals.
Meanwhile, the upcoming weekend will see Newcastle return to the Premier League as they look to improve on their current position of tenth place. They have a tough assignment, however, with Pep Guardiola's Manchester City waiting at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday night. Newcastle have an awful record away at City, with their last win there coming all the way back in 2014 in a 2-0 League Cup victory. Their last Premier League triumph was in 2000, when Shearer scored the only goal of the game.
