The eyes of the football world turn to Catalonia this Wednesday as Barcelona and Newcastle United battle for a place in the Champions League quarter-finals. After a dramatic first leg at St James' Park where Lamine Yamal’s 96th-minute penalty rescued a draw for the Spanish giants, the stage is set for a high-stakes encounter at the newly refurbished Camp Nou.

Barcelona enter the match as slight favourites, boasting a formidable home record under Hansi Flick. However, Eddie Howe’s Newcastle side has proven to be a "big game" team this season, spearheaded by the prolific Anthony Gordon. With the away goals rule no longer in play, it is a straightforward "winner takes all" scenario.
