Newcastle actually seems to be playing worse in the domestic league than AC Milan, who only lost once against Inter Milan yesterday. Ac Milan performed well at the start of this season while Newcastle has not shown good results in the EPL league, experiencing three consecutive defeats even though last week they narrowly won. against Brentford, but I think these two clubs definitely want to win, especially playing at Acmilan's home ground, of course Newcastle will find it difficult to win this match too.
Generally AC Milan have better net result than Newcastle United but recently, last weekend they both have bad performances and results. In Champions League, AC Milan is a bigger club and in the last season, they went too far. Newcastle United is like a newbie in Champions League and they will face with one of most successful clubs there, AC Milan.
Indeed Newcastle United can be said to be a newcomer team in the Champions League, but from my perspective it is quite good as a newcomer, because it can withstand the onslaught given by AC Milan in his first match.
Statistically AC Milan did more shots but no one penetrated and produced results, it could be said in this first match 60% of the total AC Milan mastered it.
As we know that some of the occasions of the team's situation change for the better if playing at home, it might be shown by AC Milan in the next fight, but that still does not be a guarantee that AC Milan will get a victory.
But no one knows the strength of the two clubs in the domestic league and European championship league like the UCL, sometimes it always brings surprises that we don't imagine, playing bad in the domestic league doesn't necessarily mean playing bad in the UCL, I think the result of this first meeting will end in a draw and have to share points.
They are different competitions and players would have more motivation to play well in Champions League. Because it is barely chance to play in Champions League. Not all clubs can participate in Champions League regularly so playing there is already a dream of many players.
It takes decades for Newcastle United to join Champions League again. In Premier League, Tottenham Hotspurs is another example. They had one Champions League season ago but recent seasons, they struggled to get a position in top four of Premier League. So they less appear in Champions League recent years and players like Kane, Son Heung Min would feel unhappy with it.
Logically, the team that has the opportunity to enter into the Champions League they will use it very well because it is very difficult to enter the Champion League, if noted in detail, the average team that enters more focused on the UCL league compared to their domestic league each Each, it shows that UCL is very valuable that all teams do it in totality.
I'm not sure how it works next season with extra UCL spots, no more group, if any team drops down anymore.
