冠军联赛足球重返泰恩赛德
巴塞罗那以艰难的联赛阶段之旅圣詹姆斯开始了他们的欧冠联赛；朴智星将面对纽卡斯尔队，在周末击败狼队后，纽卡斯尔队现在有了一些势头。
Eddie Howe；中国队在主场以1比0取得了至关重要的胜利，新签约的尼克·沃尔特马德在后门柱头球破门。德国人’；周四，他的移动和联动可能会再次给巴塞罗那的防守带来很多问题。
瓦伦西亚对Hansi Flick几乎没有任何疑问；周日，西班牙队在巴萨主场西甲联赛中大获全胜。Los Che在球上过于被动，在来自Blaugrana的适度压力下崩溃，以6比0输掉比赛。
亚马尔可能是个大失误
很难想象豪会派出他的球队像欧冠足球回到泰恩赛德一样防守。两年前，喜鹊队在一个著名的夜晚以4比1击败巴黎圣日耳曼队，在他们命运多舛、伤病缠身的比赛中，他们总是在主场尝试。
豪’；他的球队不像那些日子那样充满激情，但他们当然有能力让一支可能没有拉明·亚马尔的巴萨队保持安静。亚马尔在执行国际比赛任务时突然出现耻骨疼痛，马库斯·拉什福德可能会得到上场的机会。
费兰·托雷斯和拉菲尼亚是前三人组中其他可能的先发球员，罗伯特·莱万多夫斯基正在努力恢复到整场比赛的状态。巴萨中场可以说将是一个比他们的前锋线更大的问题，但纽卡斯尔擅长以较小的控球份额赢得比赛。
巴萨可能难以击败意志坚定的东道主
*表明客场有可能获胜，但在一场势均力敌的比赛中，最好站在东道主一边，争取三分。巴萨在最后一场客场比赛中被雷奥·瓦列卡诺（Rayo Vallecano）以1比1战平，在最近的两次欧洲客场之旅中未能击败巴黎圣日耳曼（PSG）或多特蒙德（Borussia Dortmund）。
他们从第一回合开始就已经以4比0领先，所以多特蒙德的表现几乎没有引起人们的注意，但他们从第一个哨声开始就表现平平，在多特蒙德拿到第一个之前可能已经落后两球了。
另一个缓慢的开局可能会对纽卡斯尔队造成问题，因为纽卡斯尔队防守稳固，有边锋可以追踪以保护边后卫。支持豪’；在平局无赌注市场，喜鹊队似乎是一个不错的选择，因为喜鹊队还没有全力以赴。

Champions League football returns to Tyneside
Barcelona begin their Champions League campaign with a tough league phase trip to St James’ Park to face a Newcastle side that now have some momentum after beating Wolves at the weekend.
Eddie Howe’s side earned a vital 1-0 home victory with new signing Nick Woltemade opening his account with a fine back-post header. The German’s movement and link-up play could pose the Barcelona defence plenty of problems again on Thursday.
Valencia asked next to no questions at all of Hansi Flick’s team in a landslide Barca home La Liga victory on Sunday. Los Che were too passive on the ball and fell apart under moderate pressure from the Blaugrana to lose 6-0.
Yamal could be a big miss
It is incomprehensible to think that Howe will send his team out to be as defensive as Champions League football returns to Tyneside. The Magpies always gave it a go at home during their ill-fated and injury-hit campaign two years ago when they beat Paris Saint-Germain 4-1 on a famous night.
Howe’s team are not quite as gung-ho as they were in those days, but they are certainly capable of keeping a Barce team that may be without Lamine Yamal quiet. Yamal is suffering from pain in the pubic bone that flared up while on international duty with Marcus Rashford likely to get the nod to play in his place.
Ferran Torres and Raphinha are the other likely starters in the front trio with Robert Lewandowski working his way back to full match fitness. The Barca midfield is arguably going to be a bigger problem to handle than their forward line, but Newcastle are adept at winning games with the minor share of possession.
Barca may struggle to break down determined hosts
The odds point to a possible away win, but it may be better to side with the hosts to pinch the three points in a closely-fought affair. Barca were held to a 1-1 draw by Rayo Vallecano in their last away game and failed to beat PSG or Borussia Dortmund in their two most recent European road trips.
They were already 4-0 up from the first leg, so the performance in Dortmund raised few eyebrows, but they were flat from the first whistle and could have been two goals down before Dortmund got their first.
Another slow start could be a problem against a Newcastle side that are solid in defence and have wingers that track back to protect the full backs. Backing Howe’s team in the Draw no Bet market seems like a good way to go because the Magpies are not firing on all cylinders yet.
