Gordon's masterclass a lesson for 'Little Magpie'

YES siree! Benfica bashed, Jose trashed. Back-to-back Champions League wins never achieved last qualification with seven goals scored and none conceded. Newcastle's seesaw is back on an upward curve.

What now in Europe we ask? Well, literally Athletic Bilbao at home, Marseille away, Bayer Leverkusen away, PSV Eindhoven home, and Paris Saint-Germain away to make the next stage.

PSG, the current Euro champions, looks the hardest, with Marseille a tough nut in front of a madly passionate crowd with former Man U star Mason Greenwood having taken over from Chris Waddle as their favourite Englishman. He smashed four goals recently in a 6-2 thrashing of Le Havre.

Best bet for another victory? Bilbao who are next and down in eighth position in La Liga with four wins, two draws, and three defeats. If we beat them in a fortnight's time we'll be cooking on nine points, though other significant harvests will still be needed of course. However, the foundations are in.
