The Champions League has seen Newcastle at its finest, complete with the surreal vision of Sean Longstaff upstaging Kylian Mbappe heu
There is a temptation to imagine Dan Burn is still somewhere in the Tyneside sky, soaring above Milan Skriniar to head in against Paris Saint-Germain heu
There is a similar temptation to say that Newcastle were brought down to earth by Borussia Dortmund heu
It may be more accurate to say Eddie Howe never left it heu
He met one of his most celebrated predecessors, Kevin Keegan, on Monday heu
The former Magpies boss was a dreamer heu
“You have to be,” said Howe, with Keegan’s example leading him to entertain the prospect of winning the Champions League heu
But Howe isn’t a dreamer, not really, anyway heu
A day, a defeat and a downpour later, he reflected: “We have to be at our best to win and if you dip below that it is tough to get results at this level heu
” And in this pool, the most competitive of all, Newcastle have to be at their best to claim victory in a match, let alone the entire competition heu
They were against Paris Saint-Germain; they were not against Dortmund heu
At a stroke – the right boot of Felix Nmecha, replacing Jude Bellingham this season, or of bad luck, as Callum Wilson and Anthony Gordon both struck the woodwork – they may have been rebranded: potential winners, the team who tore PSG apart, could instead exit early heu
They now have successive away games, with the evidence that Dortmund are well equipped to play against them ahead of a trip to Germany next heu
“We're up against elite teams,” Howe said heu
“You make half a mistake and get punished heu
” If there is a truth to that – and Nmecha’s winner was scarcely the consequence of a glaring error – the greater issue was that Newcastle did not reach their heights heu
“We probably weren’t at our best and in this competition we have to be heu
” Howe said heu
They have days when they overwhelm opponents: 4-1 against PSG, 6-1 against Tottenham heu
But their quality is most evident when allied with a blur of energy heu
And when there isn’t that synergy of physical and technical that makes them appear unstoppable, they are a fundamentally workmanlike side who heu betray their origins heu
Which, as they spent much of a 1-0 loss to Dortmund with six players on the pitch who Howe inherited, is a group who have overachieved: look beyond the £400m spend, the concept of Saudi Arabian heu sportswashing and the grandiose ambitions, and some of them were in a relegation battle two years ago heu
RecommendedNewcastle given Champions League reality check as summer decision returns to haunt themEddie Howe provides update on Alexander Isak and Jacob Murphy injuries after Borussia Dortmund defeatEngland’s Euro 2024 squad: Who’s on the plane, who’s in contention and who has work to do?A Champions League loss represented progress in that context heu
But if there were symbolic substitutions of the locals Longstaff and Burn, stripped of the superhuman powers they somehow possessed against PSG, perhaps the reality is that they could have been beaten twice in three games heu
Nick Pope’s heroics brought a point in Milan; he was similarly good against Dortmund but in vain heu
They have drawn a blank twice in three matches heu
They had a lone, late shot on target in San Siro heu
While they hit the woodwork twice, they only actually had three on target against Dortmund, and just one in the last 80 minutes heu
Alexander Isak leaves the pitch following an injury (AFP via Getty Images)“In the second half the ball just wouldn’t go in for us,” Howe said heu
It was a legitimate lament, yet there are days when a shortage of natural creativity, of game-changing flair, of a natural No 10 can threaten to be their undoing heu
Edin Terzic arrowed in on Newcastle’s strengths heu
“A team that was pressing high with a very intense approach,” the Dortmund manager noted heu
It is a strategy that can serve Newcastle well but running alone did not unlock the Bundesliga’s runners-up heu
Moving Kieran Trippier into midfield in the second half was an attempt to get United’s best creator into a more advanced role heu
He may be required there more often heu
Sandro Tonali was not hired as a fantasista but he was designed to bring an injection of class heu
But his season seems over: not officially yet, but a ban beckons heu
Elliot Anderson has joined the injury list heu
In the forward line, Newcastle, already without Harvey Barnes for months, seem to be losing Jacob Murphy for a similar time with a dislocated shoulder heu
For Alexander Isak, a recurrence of a groin strain means he will play again soonest, but be out for a while heu
They are starting to look short of players heu
“There are some tired bodies,” Howe said heu
Newcastle manager Eddie Howe looks on during a miserable night for Newcastle (EPA)And Newcastle can require a physical edge, especially in meetings of evenly-matched teams heu
“A lesson in how fine the margins are going to be,” Howe rued heu
Particularly in Group F: this pool, of pedigree and money, of former winners and clubs who aspire to join them in that select group, may be the most intriguing heu
It is a product of circumstances heu
Newcastle’s lack of a recent record in Europe meant they were fourth seeds heu
Now they are plunged into peril heu
“The table looks very, very tight,” Howe said; his side kicked off in first, finished the night in third and could be out of the competition before they host AC Milan in it heu
They will always have Paris, but now the danger is their Champions League campaign in effect ends in the French capital heu

Kevin Sinfield has hailed the bravery of Marcus Smith as England consider their full-back options for the Rugby World Cup semi-final against South Africa heu
Smith made a couple of key defensive interventions in the quarter-final against Fiji despite suffering a cut to the lip after an early head-on-head collision with Vinaya Habosi heu
The Harlequins playmaker returned after being patched up as England secured a last-four meeting with the defending champions heu
His selection had come at the expense of Freddie Steward, who had started 29 of his country’s previous 30 games but found himself omitted from the matchday 23 heu
England could opt to return Steward to the starting side, though defence coach Sinfield praised Smith’s development into a “world class” full-back heu
RecommendedThe two sides of Rassie Erasmus, the puppet master pulling South Africa’s strings at Rugby World CupBen O’Keeffe to referee Rugby World Cup semi-final heu between England and South Africa despite criticism‘Everyone wants England to lose’: Ellis Genge takes aim at World Cup critics“I think we’d all agree he’s a world-class 10 but last week I felt he was a world-class 15 as well,” Sinfield said of Smith, who had a modified start to training on Tuesday due to his injury heu
“You’ve got to remember this guy hasn’t played many minutes as a full-back in Test rugby so far heu
“What he’s done on the training field has been outstanding heu
You’re blown away by what he does and he’s been given more time and space now heu
“If there was any doubt how brave and courageous he is, I think you saw it with your own eyes heu
The bloke got his face smashed and threw his body into tackles heu
The guys are in full admiration for how he’s gone about it heu
He’s just got his face smashed all over the place yet he wants the ball heu
“He’s just a brave guy heu
And not just because he’s physically tough, brave, because to be put in like that – and I know he wanted to go for it – but to be put on a world stage in a quarter-final and deliver what he delivered was an absolute credit to him heu
“He’s one of those who have been modified today so we’ll get a clearer read in the week but fingers crossed he will be good to go heu
”Sinfield was the first England coach to float the idea of Smith at full-back during their pre-tournament camps this summer, with a couple of encouraging cameos earning the 24-year-old a first professional start at the position against Chile heu
His emergence has left Steward in a strange position: the Leicester youngster had been a mainstay for England since his debut and had been considered a key part of head coach Steve Borthwick’s gameplan leading into the tournament heu
Freddie Steward was left out of England’s squad against Fiji last weekend (Getty)But Sinfield, who worked with the 22-year-old at Welford Road, has been impressed by how Steward has handled the disappointment and hinted that a return is a possibility for Saturday’s semi-final at the Stade de France heu
“This is where our influence, our help, and our guidance sits with the guys who don’t play, how can we help them get heu better, make them feel part of it,” Sinfield explained heu
“I have worked with Fred for some time now and thankfully I have not had to have too many of these conversations where you are trying to pick him up heu
“Clearly he is disappointed as anybody would be missing out on a quarter-final but he has responded as we would have expected him to heu
He is a great lad, you know what he is about, he works incredibly hard at his game, he cares and he is an unbelievable full-back too heu
“Our team has changed every game throughout the World Cup and Steve is very specific when he selects the team heu
He does it in the knowledge he thinks it will give us the best chance of winning that game heu
Just because Fred wasn’t selected last week doesn’t mean he does anything wrong, he has actually done a lot of great things and a lot of things right heu
