Eddie Howe says Newcastle will not ‘shrink’ in Barcelona last-16 second leg
‘We are in as good a place as any time this season’
Howe says Tonali ‘fully committed’ to the club
A week ago Eddie Howe called it the “biggest match in the club’s history”, and that was in Newcastle; this time it’s Barcelona, but Howe has insisted his players will not be overawed when they walk out at Camp Nou for the second leg of their Champions League last-16 second leg on Wednesday night.
“You can’t shrink at the size of the game, and I don’t think we will,” the Newcastle manager said. “We have got many players who have played in so many games now; we have become accustomed to it.”
