It's really worth remembering that night when people are really (and not unjustly) critical of Longstaff in particular. I am frustrated at him giving the ball away cheaply way too much but people seem to think that's his level, it's not, he's not consistent enough tbh to play at the real top level but he can be better than he has been and deserves better than being totally binned off which some have suggested...

 

always has been very obviously a much better player when confident, but he gets nowt but dogs abuse from the fans. It's really frustrating.

Hmm, I think he could be kept as a squad player but that’s it. 
 

Even his goal in this game is straight at the keeper and should have been saved.

 

I think his level is upper championship or relegation battle starter, sub for anyone else.

It'll be an incredibly rare night in our history; potentially completely unique, in fact, because of the context. 

 

Hopefully there's plenty more epic wins to come but that night was a crescendo of everything that had come before it. We'd killed the bad guy and that was the night we got the girl.

He shouldn't be a starter by any means not saying that but he could be handy squad member and could start for a midtable team fine imo

Just been talking about this at work. The bullet header from BDB, I know it crossed the line, but would have loved to see it smash the net.

Going back to this game, I was travelling back from Ibiza that night, and the flight was due to take off just before kick off, so hoped I'd miss any result till I got home (Likely lads). But, flight delayed, and by the time we took off, Miggy had scored the first. People on the plane still had the match on their phones till we got high enough to lose signal.

Anyway, landed in Newcastle, came through arrivals and the check in hall was full of PSG supporters, all eating Greggs stotties, sausage rolls and pasties. It was a surreal thing, sitting waiting for my taxi hyem amongst them all.

I feel so privileged to have been there for this. Just a massive beautiful celebration of what it is to be from Newcastle and to support this club. Absolutely the best night I’ve had supporting NUFC.

That shot of Mbappe at the end after the final whistle walking off the pitch is probably going to stick with me for the rest of my life, the physical embodiment of thinking 'woah'.

Edit: Found it (timestamped)

Every goal is permanently embedded into my brain. The worrying feeling when they scored aswell.

 

the wait for VAR on Burn's goal was agony too :lol:. Tried to rule it out for both offside and handball!

The noise for each of the goals! Not a typical roar/goal celebration, it was a spine tingling pure emotion - especially the Miggy and Schar goals.

The Almiron one was exactly the sound you'd expect after 20 years of waiting for a Champions League goal. Perfection.

Really special night this, my favourite for sure. From the moment of checking my bank to confirm me and the little un’ had tickets from the ballot, to the taxi ride home, I’ll never forget. Made all the better for my 12 year old experiencing it together.

 

Pre match, standing at the windows on the upper floor of Bealim, watching the PSG fans march to the stadium, the sheer electricity 30 minutes before the game in our seats (never experienced anything like that before), the flag display, the noise … Jesus Christ the noise… , the PSG fans, miggys opener, more unbelievable noise, and the rest is history.  
 

You can’t buy memories like that man, super special.

SJP and town itself really did feel like it was transported to a different dimension that night. The best example I can think of of there being electric in the air and everyone being able to feel it and then thrive off it.  From the streets, to the stands, onto the pitch and then back in a feedback loop.

 

Doubt I'll ever experience a night of football quite like that again because of everything in the previous 20 years that lead up to it.

 

My memory tends to be a bit hazy, especially when I've had a few drinks, but I remember all of it and will never ever forget it.

 

From the buzz around St Thomas Church, the drinks in the Town Mouse and Revoluciòn de Cuba beforehand. The atmosphere walking in and around the concourse. The PSG fans almost acting as a pacemaker for us to up our own atmosphere. The Champions League anthem. The cheering of our closing down, Trippier setting the tone with an early interception that he controlled and set us away with brilliantly. The disbelief when Miggy scored. Running to the toilet while Isak was getting bandaged up. The wait for Burn's goal. Pope's inexplicable precision in terrible goal kicks out to the left. Being in sheer disbelief by the third goal. Jamaal Lascelles absolutely bodying Mbappe and Dembele. Being right behind Schär's shot and standing up as soon as he hit it, knowing it had a very good chance. Going mental, my brother in law, one of the most shy and reserved people I know just grabbing the man in front of him and shaking him. Singing full belt throughout. Having to go for drinks at The City Tavern afterwards so we could compose ourselves and confirm back to each other what we'd witnessed. Scranning a lush Firestone pizza on the way home. Immediately downloading the match when I got home and staying up until daft O'clock watching highlights.

 

Best night supporting the club in person I've ever experienced by an absolute mile. Magical.
