Resounding feat for Newcastle! 21 years after its last appearance in the most prestigious European competition, the English club celebrated its comeback with a 4-1 victory against Luis Enrique’s Paris Saint-Germain on the 2nd day of the Champions League. At the end of the match, players and staff were warmly applauded by the crowd at St James’s Park.
Like a large majority of the Magpies squad, Dan Burn discovered C1 for the first time this season. Rather discreet against AC Milan, the 31-year-old defender contributed to his team’s success by scoring the second goal of the evening on the English side. As such, the child from Newcastle was over the moon when discussing his professional career in front of the press. “I had a very proud career. I was released by Fulham at 25, so playing in the Champions League now is like a dream, like I’m waiting for someone to wake me up. Since I came here, the trajectory has been upward. It’s almost like waiting for the bubble to burst.”released the former Brighton player, firmly installed in Eddie Howe’s starting lineup for two seasons.
