Newcastle 1-1 Barcelona

[Hampwill]

Lamine Yamal’s penalty with the last kick of the game rescued Barcelona a 1-1 draw against Newcastle at St James’ Park.

Harvey Barnes’ 86th-minute strike had put Newcastle on course for a famous victory over the LaLiga giants and a precious advantage to take to the Nou Camp, but Malick Thiaw’s unnecessary challenge on Dani Olmo deep into stoppage time handed Barca a late lifeline.

Yamal made no mistake from the spot, sending Aaron Ramsdale the wrong way to give Barcelona the advantage in the last-16 tie ahead of the second leg in Spain next week.
