Warren Zaire-Emery, at 17 years old, is the midfield general for PSG tonight.

PSG are effectively playing a 4-2-4, so a lot is lying on the young man's shoulders for the French champions.

You can scarcely hear yourself think over the noise at Newcastle.

Dan Burn, Newcastle fan born and bred, looks close to tears as the Champions League anthem blares out at St. James' Park.

St. James' Park is a sea of black and white flags. The atmosphere is utterly electric.

Champions League football, Geordie style, is about to arrive.

A reminder that Celtic are also in action tonight as they host Lazio in Group E.

We have a dedicated live page covering that game, while you can also listen to BBC Radio Scotland Extra here.

Paris as a team have not played as well in periods of games, and that has cost them.

I think they will enjoy playing here. It is a cracking atmosphere already and I think Mbappe and the other players will enjoy it.

I think they will recognise that they have the players to exploit gaps in behind. Mbappe gets a goal for you, it doesn't matter if he players well or not. He can turn a game in a split second.

Former Newcastle winger Keith Gillespie has been reflecting on the Magpies' first-ever Champions League game as they prepare to face Ligue 1 champions PSG.

St James' Park will host a game in the competition for the first time in two decades, 26 years on from a historic 3-2 victory over Barcelona.

Faustino Asprilla scored a hat-trick that night, with Gillespie providing two assists in a night the former Northern Ireland international says is unforgettable.

"It was one of those nights where everything went right for me," he said.

"My job was pretty much putting balls into the box and luckily Tino got on the end of two of them, it's nice to have had such a big involvement in the game.

"I get asked about it when I'm in Newcastle all the time and I don't think I'll ever get tired of talking about it.

"It's great, even 26 years on people still want to talk about it because it has a place in history because it was the first Champions League game that we had.

"It's great to be remembered for such a special game, obviously Tino with his hat-trick was exceptional that night, he just ran the Barcelona defence ragged at times up there on his own.

"It was a great night and one I'll never forget."

I think Bruno [Guimaraes], I think Tonali is experienced as well and they are going to be huge in there. That area is often where the game is won or lost. Joelinton's legs will be a miss but I think they have a string team about there.

I think [Gordon] has rolled his sleeves up. He has been putting in the hard work and the fans respond to that. A big part of the wingers' play is that intensity and they have added that quality.

[Nick Pope] has been amazing since he signed. Maybe he had a blip at the start of the season but he has had five clean sheets on the bounce and one of the reasons they are in the Champions League is because of Nick Pope.

He had a great game in the San Siro and he deserves to be on this stage.

Kris: Only 2 midfielders for PSG feels like they may be underestimating the toon. But that attacking threat is scary!

Optimistic Geordie: Great to be back where we belong. PSG won't turn up, Newcastle 4-0.

In Group H tonight, Barcelona travel to Porto in a game seeped in Champions League history.

It has been 12 years since both sides have met. Back during the Pep Guardiola reign which saw the Spanish giants at the top of European football.

Barcelona had glided past Manchester United in the 2010-11 final at Wembley and Porto managed to beat Portuguese rivals Braga in the Europa League final. Both booking their places in the UEFA Super Cup final.

Unsurprisingly, it was Guardiola's Barca team who come away with another trophy. Xavi captained Barca that evening and he will be hoping for a similar result tonight.

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola says his team "hate losing" and expects to see a reaction against RB Leipzig tonight.

European champions City have lost their past two matches - 1-0 to Newcastle in the Carabao Cup and 2-1 at Wolves for their first Premier League loss.

"It's never a good day when we don't win, that's the standard we have at the club," said Guardiola. "We have a lot of winners and know how to deal with it.

"It's always an intense moment when it happens, that's the way it should be.

"We don't lose our happiness and enthusiasm. It's good we feel it that way and hate it that much. That's what keeps us winning."

Remarkable scenes in Belgium, where Shakhtar Donetsk have come back from 2-0 down at half time to beat Royal Antwerp 3-2.

Even more remarkable, Antwerp captain Toby Alderweireld missed a penalty with the last kick of the game, screwing it well wide. Horrendous for the ex-Spurs man.

In the other early game, Atletico Madrid have also beaten Feyenoord by the odd goal in five, 3-2.

RB Leipzig will not be relishing facing Erling Haaland.

The Manchester City striker has scored 11 goals in just six appearances against them, netting five times in last season's 7-0 win.

He's scored more goals against Leipzig than any other opponent in his career.

It is only a few months since RB Leipzig were thrashed 7-0 by Manchester City but it is unlikely the score tonight will be anywhere close to that.

City haven't won at Leipzig and the home leg of that knockout tie last season ended in a 1-1 draw.

"The 7-0 defeat [against City last season] is history for us," Leipzig coach Marco Rose said.

"We know what to expect. Against teams like Manchester City, you also need a bit of luck - and of course a top performance. Together with the fans, we want to believe we can win at home, bring the necessary energy onto the field and seize the opportunity to compete.”
