Newcastle 1 Juventus 0 : A Ten Year Old’s First Champions League Night That Will Never Be Forgotten - Now we are back!
Ten years old and all I could think about was when am I next going up to Tyneside.
The last time Newcastle played in the Champions League was during the 97/98 season under Kenny Dalglish. Newcastle recorded an incredible and famous result, a 3-2 win against the great Barcelona team managed by Louis van Gaal. Tino Asprilla scored a hat-trick and officially cemented his place in Geordie folklore. However, this result was not enough to get Newcastle United out of the group that season and Tyneside had to wait another five years before the competition returned.
Juventus, who were playing in black and white that evening, started well and were applying pressure, with Di Vaio and Nedved having chances in the first half. Newcastle responded well with chances falling to Lua Lua, Solano and Robert, but were unable to convert. As I saw Robert play the free kick short to Andy Griffin my first emotion was a groan, but seconds later he finds himself clear in the box after faking to shoot and directs his shot / cross towards the far corner, which Buffon couldn’t keep up and instead helps divert the ball the bottom corner. St. James’ erupts and the belief that Newcastle can qualify from the group grows, despite looking an impossible task before kick off.
