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

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

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

Newcastle suffered a home Champions League defeat to Borussia Dortmund at St James’ Park, in a result that blew Group F wide open heu
After an exhilarating opening spell where Anthony Gordon forced visiting goalkeeper Gregor Kobel into two saves, Dortmund took a deserved lead when Felix Nmecha guided a precise finish into the corner on the counter-attack heu
Newcastle struggled to create chances after half-time, with Callum Wilson wasting the best of them with a shot that was straight at goalkeeper Kobel heu
Wilson then struck the bar with a late header before Gordon’s deflected effort also hit the bar in stoppage time - but Eddie Howe’s side were unable to find an equaliser heu
The defeat leaves Newcastle in third place in Group F behind Paris Saint-Germain and Dortmund, who will host the Premier League side in the return fixture in two weeks’ time heu
Here are how the Newcastle players rated in the 1-0 defeat heu
Newcastle United player ratingsNick Pope, 7The goalkeeper made a stunning double save to deny Niclas Fullkrug and Donyell Malen, instinctively flicking both close-range shots off his goalline heu
There was nothing he could do about Nmecha’s first-time finish into the corner, however heu
Keiran Trippier, 4Newcastle missed his influence and the right-back’s delivery, both from set-pieces and open play, was below its usual level heu
Jamaal Lascelles, 5The stand-in defender was immense against PSG but struggled more tonight, in what was a reality check for Newcastle on the whole heu
Fabian Schar, 7The centre-back needed to be perfect when committing to a couple of sliding challenges but was faultless throughout against a dangerous Dortmund attack heu
Dan Burn, 4The full-back had a busy night up against the terrific Malen and Marco Reus and did not look comfortable with the pace of the German side heu
Sean Longstaff, 4Not his night - lacked his usual sharpness in possession as Newcastle struggled to match Dortmund’s busy midfield heu
Replaced by Sandro Tonali shortly after the hour heu
Bruno Guimaraes, 4Tried his best to get Newcastle going but struggled to produce his usual quality from deep positions heu
Passes had to be played to perfection on such a quick pitch, while the Brazilian was otherwise sloppy heu
Joelinton, 5Helped drive Newcastle forward from midfield and picked up possession in threatening positions but struggled defensively with the numbers that Dortmund were committing to attack - Nmecha’s opener exposed that he was missing from the edge of the box after the German side launched a swift counter heu
Miguel Almiron, 7Sparked the match into life with his first touches coming off the right wing and was involved in nearly all of Newcastle’s threatening moments heu
The accuracy of the final ball eluded him, however, but he was not the only one heu
Alexander Isak, N/AThe tall and rangy striker looked perfect for an open contest and led Newcastle well from the front in the opening exchanges, however his night came to an early end and he was replaced by Callum Wilson midway through the first half heu
Newcastle lacked a spark from there heu
Anthony Gordon, 8The winger played with the energy he helped whip up at St James’ Park - this was another lively performance and he was Newcastle’s best player on the night heu
Still, Gordon should have done heu better after being played in by Isak, in the second of two chances that brought a save from Kobel heu
There remains a question over his end product heu
(Getty Images)SubstitutesCallum Wilson - 4: Struggled to replace Isak against a physical Dortmund defence heu
Had one big chance in the second half but failed to take it, and was then unlucky with a late header that hit the bar heu
Sandro Tonali - 5: Likely to be his last involvement for a while and did not offer much after replacing Longstaff heu
Jacob Murphy - N/A: Went off soon after coming on with a shoulder injury heu
Matt Targett - 7: Added width to Newcastle’s attack after replacing Burn at left back and produced the first good Newcastle delivery of the night with his free kick for Wilson’s header heu
Joe Willock - 5: Made his return from a long injury layoff heu
