‘Defining moment’: Newcastle’s Howe braces for must-win match against PSG

Tuesday night’s match against Paris Saint-Germain will require Newcastle to “play on the edge” as they approach a “defining moment” in their Champions League campaign.

Twelve senior players from the club are currently recovering in treatment rooms on Tyneside due to an injury crisis, rather than getting ready for battle at the Parc des Princes. Newcastle knows that a loss in Paris will result in their elimination from the competition’s group stages as they are now at the bottom of Group F. Eddie Howe feels that Newcastle’s players are dangerous even at high adrenaline levels, and they require every ounce of drive and determination to win. Luis Enrique, the manager of PSG, compares Newcastle’s visit to a “cup final.”
