In the first round of the main stage of the Champions League, Newcastle United will host Barcelona at St. James’ Park. The opponents have faced off in England twice. In Group C of the 1997/98 campaign, the hosts came out on top, 3-2. In the second group stage of the 2002/03 season, the Spanish giants took revenge with a 2-0 win. The Magpies finished only fifth in the Premier League, but that was enough to secure a spot in the main stage. England was granted an additional slot in the competition as one of the two associations whose clubs performed best in last season’s campaign. The Citizens are expected to be without Harrison Ashby, Mark Gillespie, Jamaal Lascelles, Jacob Ramsey, John Ruddy, and Yoane Wissa for this game. In Barcelona’s injury list are Gavi, Alejandro Balde, and Marc-André ter Stegen.
