Paris Saint-Germain visit a sold-out St James' Park for an eagerly anticipated Champions League showdown with Newcastle United.
The Premier League team are back in Europe's top competition for the first time in two decades and opened their Group F campaign with a goalless draw at AC Milan on matchday one. Since then, they have beaten Sheffield United 8-0 and Burnley 1-0 in Premier League play, and eliminated Manchester City from the Carabao Cup.
Kylian Mbappe was on target from the penalty spot as PSG began their latest bid for continental glory with a 2-0 win over Borussia Dortmund.
The reigning Ligue 1 champions were held to a goalless draw by Clermont Foot in their last match, though, and anything other than a win here will only prompt questions about whether Luis Enrique is the right man to lead them to their most coveted trophy.
The Sporting News will be following the Newcastle vs. PSG match live, providing score updates, commentary, and highlights as they happen.
