Here's how the players rated:
NEWCASTLE (4-3-3):
5 Ramsdale: Couldn’t really be blamed for any of the goals, but hardly exuded any confidence
3 Trippier: A night to forget – lost Martin for Barcelona’s second goal and conceded the penalty for the Spanish side’s third
3 Thiaw: A disastrous night that saw him repeatedly lose his footing – his head was scrambled by the end
4 Burn: Was all over the place in the second half as Barcelona sliced through the heart of the Newcastle defence at will
7 Hall: Brilliant in the first half as he caused a series of problems down the left – some great link-up play with Barnes
5 Ramsey: Did some good things in the first half, but was on earth was he thinking as he passed to Raphinha?
6 Tonali: Conducted the Newcastle midfield, but was forced off with an injury that is a major worry ahead of Sunday’s derby
5 Joelinton: Took the fight to Barcelona, but couldn’t stop his opponents from playing through him
7 Elanga: Scored two goals and gave Cancelo major problems as he broke down the Newcastle right
5 Gordon: Made some good runs in the first half, but was pretty much a spectator in the second
7 BARNES: Tore the right-hand side of the Barcelona defence apart in the first half – heavily involved in both goals
Subs:
3 Livramento (for Trippier, 46): Newcastle’s defending actually got worse when he came onto the field
4 Willock (for Tonali, 56): Couldn’t make an attacking impact in the second half
4 Botman (for Elanga, 63): The game was already up by the time he got onto the field
4 J Murphy (for Joelinton, 63): Didn’t get into a position where he could threaten
Osula (for Gordon, 81): N/A
