The 2025-26 Champions League league phase will reach its halfway point with Matchday Four this week, including a heated matchup between Newcastle and Athletic Club.
Despite a disappointing defeat to Barcelona in their opener, Newcastle has turned the tides. The Magpies have had some impressive wins, including shutouts over Union SG and Benfica that have moved them into 11th in the table. Newcastle’s home record proves their undeniable advantage at St. James’ Park.
Meanwhile, Ernesto Valverde’s squad has hit a rough patch. Athletic Club began their season with three straight wins, but have since only been able to win two matches in their last 11 across all competitions. Can they secure a much needed win in Newcastle?
