I would say that Newcastle fans would be ok with everything as long as they can see their team doing fine. They were fine with a guy who murders journalists who are against him, and do that in foreign lands, and just overall be the king that doesn't allow anything good to happen in their nation and just takes everyone's money and owns everything, if that happened in England there would be riots, but they are fine with some other nations king to takeover, as long as it means they will finish up better than other teams.

So if they were playing UCL games everyday, even if it meant breaking the rules, they would be fine with it as well. Football is important, but never this important, not in my life, I do not see how that would be possible.

PSG is lucky to be able to qualify for the next stage because they have the same points as Milan it's just that PSG has one goal, as you said even though PSG got one ticket but I doubt they could compete with several other elite clubs, overall PSG performance decreased when compared to last season we can see the results of their matches in the champions league, only winning 2 times from 6 matches of course that's not a great achievement. Oh yes, I didn't see Mbappe name on the top scorer list maybe this is one of the reasons for PSG's declining performance when PSG relied on Mbappe but so far Mbappe has not played optimally.

yeah, that's absolutely true, in fact PSG was saved in last night's match with a score of 1-1. But in reality, PSG actually had many opportunities and they should have been able to win last night's match. Unfortunately, Kang-in Lee and Randal Kolo Muani played with poor performance. In fact, these two players had several opportunities, but unfortunately they were unable to make good use of them. Also, these two players took too long to dribble the ball. in the end, they were replaced by other players. Luckily Warren Zaire-Emery was able to equalize, which ultimately resulted in a 1-1 draw. one more thing, unlucky for PSG, 1 shot hit the goal post. As for Newcastle, this match actually matched my predictions. Even though I didn't watch this match, I can refer to the match statistics. The point is, AC Milan's defense line was quite solid in the match against Newcastle. plus, they have more big chances than Newcastle. This match, according to what I predicted, both teams have the same characteristics. That's why Milan has more counterattack opportunities. Pioli's squad had 6 counter attacks, 1 goal was converted well. Likewise, Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan made 5 saves. As a result, as we know, Eddie Howe's squad had to accept defeat at their own headquarters. and Milan, have the right to advance to the European League even though they failed in this competition.

in group F, milan and newcastle have to accept the fact that they are not able to advance to the last 16, well Dortmund and PSG's performance is the best in group F. However, Newcastle has struggled hard to be able to compete in the Champions League.

in group A, man utd is really the worst team (While Bayern managed to stay at the top with perfect points and were unbeatable, Bayern was tough as usual) out of the 6 matches that took place man utd only won 1 and lost 4 times, ten hag is really having a bad season imo.

After all, even if PSG or Newcastle qualify for the last 16, I'm sure they won't be able to advance further in the Champions League knockout phase . Because ya, they still don't have a stable performance and as such, it will of course be difficult for them to guarantee good results in the knockout phase . But yes, at least it is still good for Newcastle to have managed to play in the Champions League this season, even though they are in the hell group, but Newcastle still managed to provide tough resistance to the top team in this group.

Thus, Newcastle clearly still needs better preparation and yes, in fact Newcastle cannot guarantee that they will return to play in the Champions League next season because competition in the Premier League has also become very difficult this season.

Initially I thought Real Sociedad would not qualify for the round of 16 because in the group stage there were other strong teams like Benfica. But who would have thought that Benfica would actually get out of the competitive path and get bad results in every match which ultimately meant that they were only able to secure a slot in the European league. Apart from that, Inter, who should have been the favorite to win the group, also didn't seem serious in the last match against Real Sociedad yesterday and ended up making Real Sociedad the winner of Group D.

Italy could actually bring 4 representatives, but Milan in the last match only lost on goal difference to PSG in the group stage and Italy only managed to bring 3 representatives. If yesterday Milan managed to win with a landslide score against Newcastle, it is possible that they would be representing Italy along with Napoli, Lazio and Inter.

Well, it's what it is,  and regardless of Newcastle's current position many still believe in the ability and struggle of Newcastle United and just like a few comments have pointed out that the reason why Newcastle underperformed is due to the season with the schedule on the club and many of the other engagement for the club,  and that has limited their chances of winning some of those important games that could have lead them to the next round even though the club started the season on a very important note but failed to continue with the level of consistency that was needed to keep them on the right line for the league but along the way the fallout and that is very sad but still acceptable.

Let's see what the next season will look like for Newcastle United if their be able to recover from a the current level and to make a new position for them self that can motivate them not to go below further

PSG are one team that has a big market value yet no Major European success and that’s one crazy result that any team could have, they’ve got quite some star players but they might not be the best quality for that position and that’s one factor that a winning team needs to have and also the winning mentality, they have managed to qualify for the next round but haven't given me a benefit of doubt if they'll reach the semi's

 The teams needs to have some spectacular additions that’ll be befitting of champions and make sure all positions have that creative player that makes the difference other than this, there’ll sure be returning home early from the UCL as expected , no much hopes on PSG because as usual, they won’t go through the Quater Finals, cause they narrowly escaped the group stage.

To talk a lot at UCL, every club is required to be able to face every challenge, whether it is a busy match schedule, player injuries, sanctions, and so on. furthermore, if you have the ambition to win the championship trophy, you must be able to beat other strong teams, that is the real challenge that must be conquered in order to move forward gradually.

Newcastle are unlucky because they are in the Hell group, if Eddie Howe squad joins another group then with their current performance they can definitely take them to the round of 16. But that is the reality that must be accepted now, now what they have to do is finish in the top four of the EPL and appear again next season.

When compared to Man United, the performance of Ten Hag squad is more unstable than Newcastle, and the saddest thing is that United failed to take advantage of a good opportunity because they were in an easier group, unlike group F, it is indeed very sad.

The players were affected due to the intense tempo, there are also many deficiencies in the squad, there are injured players, Tonali is out because of illegal betting. They seemed to have started the Milan match very well yesterday, but they could not maintain this good run for a long time.

I do not think that the players are ready to move on to the next round. In fact, in my opinion, Newcastle United are better than AC Milan. As I said, they are suffering losses because they have many deficiencies as a complete team.

La Liga and the Premier League are the two best leagues in Europe so far, but they are of different classes and levels. The success of La Liga teams in the Champions League does not necessarily prove that La Liga is better than other leagues and this all depends on each individual's perspective. I will still say La Liga is better than the English League, but I also admit that the English League is the most competitive league in Europe compared to La Liga, Ligue 1, Bundesliga and Serie A.

Real Madrid's dominance in winning the Champions League title will not be entirely because La Liga is better, but Real Madrid is one of the best teams in the world. I hope you know what I mean, so it's all about perspective.

Competing against top-class oppositions in the Champions League has been a difficult task for Newcastle. It was their first time after a long time. Playing with this intensity in all of the competitions this season would certainly make them suffer in terms of injury and that affected them. They have nine first-team players out injured, they weren't able to field the likes of Sven Botman, Sandro Tonali, Harvey Barnes and Nick Pope for key games due to their long list of unavailable stars.

Had Newcastle managed to hold on for a draw against Milan, they would have at least had Europa League football to show for their efforts. Honestly I wanted them to qualify, It's sad to see Newcastle dropping out of Europe but there's hope for the project if they are willing to do the work, compared to Manchester United.

Newcastle were dealing with so many injuries and as you know Tonali got suspended due to illegal betting action as well. This affected Newcastle's results really negatively of course. But still when I saw them getting ahead against Milan home I was really hopeful about them to even win the match. However their problems with absent players still haunted them and Milan made a comeback to win.

If Newcastle managed to win PSG were going to say goodbye to the Champions League you know.

I personally don't think that PSG really deserved to reach next stage. I hope they get a tough draw and get eliminated early.    I'm saying this on the condition that they continue to play inconsistently here.

Sincerely speaking I thought Newcastle would maintain their winning  from the first half especially considering the style of play they were playing, because they were really dominating the midfield and the attack, I was almost sure that Newcastle will score more goals in the second half, but this is the game of football anything can happen even in the die minute.
I feel Newcastle should have scored more goals during the first half, at least to seal their victory, the come back from Milan for me was really unprecedented given the way it all started.

It is indeed lucky for a club if they are in an easy group, meaning their chances of progressing to the round of 16 will be smoother. However, for teams like Bayern, Madrid or Manchester City it is not a big problem, they can become favorites because their strength is above the average of other clubs. We understand that the UCL is very different from domestic competitions, the competitive level of the League and squad depth sometimes means nothing here.

In the end we will only see 2 clubs in the final, regardless of which league sends the most representatives, that doesn't necessarily mean one of them will be in the final. It is not uncommon for favorite clubs to be eliminated first, and all initial predictions are broken. Luck plays a big role, apart from supporting factors such as squad depth and winning mentality.

Just check out teams like Manchester City and Real Madrid they both won all their games as the only teams that swept all their group stage matches they are believed to be the team's that have the highest chances to win the championships league in this season. If PSG were that serious it's from their group stage performance that we will be convinced with, however I have no doubt  that PSG won't be qualifying to the round 8, they have narrowly escape through to round of 16 that's doesn't mean they will be lucky to go further still.

Apart from the busy schedule, it seems that Newcastle are not ready to continue to the next round, even though they managed to get through the group, it is not certain that they will meet easy opponents, of course if they meet a very strong club, they will definitely fail too, so it is better if they fail in the group phase so they can take a lot of lessons from their failures this season so they can improve it next season, the most important thing is to strengthen mentally and improve strong performance to maintain stamina. If the end of the year next season has a busy schedule like this they can handle it well.

El Clasico doesn't have the same status as it used to have when there was Ronaldo and Messi in La Liga. But there is little doubt and disagreement that the Premier League is the best league in the world. Winning the Premier League these days is probably the hardest title you can win in Europe. I understand the point you are making here, but if you take the top six teams from the Premier League, La Liga and either Serie A or Bundesliga, and then let them play a super season against each other, I think that the Premier League clubs on average would have the best results.

Some countries were getting 4 spots in total + 1 spot from europa league like la liga. La liga has been sending most candidates to the UCL this season. That's bad to see that how sevilla was failed to go to the next round. It will be far better to see sevilla to be listed on that list.
the club from portugal and french league has less UCL spots compared to the EPL or even la liga. No doubt that if they are only having 1 candidate left for their continent.

Even though la liga has sent most candidates to the knock out stage but it doesn't mean UCL will be owning by la liga club. I remind you the situation of last season. We have seen serie a was also sending lots of candidate but manchester city was winning UCL.
It seems like that this can't be used as measurement to know which continent that will be winning the UCL trophy.

In the first half Newcastle did look superior, it's just that when in the second half some of Newcastle's core players were replaced their game declined and the attack line was not so sharp, I think this is more fortunate for Milan because they have to win and comeback in the second half.

Damn,, actually I put my hopes on Newcastle to win because of betting there, I also saw how their record at home was always good only at the end of this match they had to lose, I was unlucky to choose this team in betting.

PSG is still saved with a 1-1 goal result (draw) try if Newcastle wins it is definitely an English club that will qualify.
