This promises to be an action-packed encounter for Newcastle United at St. James' Park when the Champions League tournament arrives in town and Paris Saint Germain with it. Read all about the Group Stage match here!
These teams have little in common geographically as Paris Saint Germain have to travel 900 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
It's no vacation for neither Newcastle nor Paris Saint Germain as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
