Former Aston Villa striker on BBC Radio 5 Live at St. James' ParkIt's a chance. He has to score. Anthony Elanga, my word, he put the after burners on and went by the defender like he wasn't there.

Newcastle are playing the potential winners of the tournament. Avoiding a humbling is a good result here. Regardless of Yamal not playing.

Newcastle 0-0 Barcelona
Almost a moment of major excitement for Newcastle. Harvey Barnes races onto a through ball and clips the ball over Joan Garcia but it drops just wide. And then the offside flag goes up so probably for the best he didn't score as it wouldn't have counted.

Man City 0-0 Napoli
Great atmosphere inside the Etihad but it's low-key on the pitch so far. Just the one attempt after that early attempt by Ruben Dias.
City are bossing possession 76.5%-23.5%.

The Geordies are a great fan base, but I did not expect this atmosphere. I can feel it through the TV; to be there must be crazy. That's a 12th man if I've ever seen one.

Newcastle 0-0 Barcelona
Could Newcastle have done with a proper striker there? Anthony Elanga flies past Gerard Martin and squares the ball for Anthony Gordon, who doesn't make any real contact with the ball about eight yards away from goal.

A first shot in anger and it comes from the boot of Ruben Dias. Drilled hard and low from outside the box...but wide.

Newcastle 0-0 Barcelona
Good pressing from Newcastle's frontline to put Barca keeper Joan Garcia under major pressure. It's Garcia's Champions League debut.

Gianluigi Donnarumma is getting stick from the travelling Napoli fans. Jeers ring out from the away end each time Manchester City's Italian goalkeeper touches the ball.

First chance falls to Barcelona and Fermin Lopez, who netted twice at the weekend. His shot from outside the box goes miles wide though.

This is a real attack on the senses. The noise is deafening and the Wor Flags fan group have unfurled a huge AC/DC themed display – ‘Newcastle United back in black and white’.
What a night in store.
