Half time: Newcastle 0 Barcelona 0

90+6 mins Dani Olmo glided into the United area before shifting position and tempting Malick Thiaw into a lunging tackle that caught the visiting substitute on the ankle. Lamine Yamal sent Aaron Ramsdale the wrong way from 12 yards. The final whistle sounded before the restart. 96 Tears. 1-1

Full time: Newcastle 1 Barcelona 1

Eddie Howe said:

"We played really well in the game. We were on top for a lot of it.

"It will be a different sort of game at their place, but we know what we can do and we know when we are at our level how well we can play. What a feeling it would have been to go there 1-0 up, but we are level in the tie and all to play for.

"It is one game, away from home, where we can show what we can do. It will be an exciting game for us. I thought we were outstanding, a really, really good performance. We kept the intensity up.

"The moment at the end takes that in a negative light but one of our best performances. I thought we had enough to score before we did.

"The game showed we are capable but we know we probably have to give more going to their stadium. We are capable of doing it but we will need to be at our very best.

"It is my job to try and pick them up. We have unfortunately had to do that a few times this seasons but our strength of character should never be in doubt.

"We will be ready by the time the next game comes round. We believe in ourselves and our capability and we have shown that today. In the cold light of day when we wake up tomorrow, we’ll see the positives. The tie is very much alive, we played really well.

"We showed our qualities. We’ve been really competitive. The challenge is we need more on a consistent basis. We’ve showed we can play against the very best when we’re at our best.

"A really good performance from the team, very, very good in all phases, really.

I thought we limited them with a really good defensive performance from the team and I thought we attacked really well too.

"Although we didn’t create an abundance of clear-cut chances, I thought there were chances all through the game for us. It was great to see us finally score and then the last attack of the game, the last kick of the game, it’s a tough one to take."

On conceding the penalty:

"I think it is soft but Malick (Thiaw) makes contact.

"We had our shape, there's no way we should concede that goal. We will look at it but I don't want it override the 93 minutes before that in which we were quality.

"I haven't seen the goal again and it's sort of a little bit unclear to me quite what happened. Sometimes you sort of don't get the fixed picture, so I'd need to see it again before sort of giving you my opinion.

"But certainly as a team, we should have done better. We defended so well for the game all through the game and in different phases. The goal seemed soft. I remember as the ball went through the middle of us and it should never happen at that stage of the game.”

On Anthony Gordon and William Osula:

"With Anthony, that was (a fitness test) this morning and Anth didn't make it. That is a pretty good sign that he is not in the best physical condition.

"If you had asked me before the game with a 1-1, I was always happy.

"With the ball, we made not a good game. We lost too many balls, easy mistakes and this is what Newcastle only wants. When they get the ball, the transition they make is good, they have a lot of dynamic, very fast players, so it was not easy.

"But at the end, what I appreciated a lot from my team is that we defended together, the performance in defence was really good today.”
