Barça now knows its path to the Champions League final, which this season will be held in Budapest on May 30. After narrowly missing out on last season's final in a heartbreaking tie against Inter Milan, the Catalan club will be looking to reach a European final again eleven years later. But to achieve this, they will first have to overcome Newcastle, another tough opponent. "It's a draw where we could have faced two very different teams, but both have their difficulties. Newcastle is a tough side, and it's a difficult ground where we've already struggled," said sporting director Deco from Switzerland.

Eleven people were injured, two of them critically, in a knife attack on a train traveling from Doncaster, in northern England, the previous night. Initial reports indicated nine people were critically injured and one had minor injuries. However, four of the victims have since been discharged from Addenbrooke's Hospital, part of the Cambridge Biomedical University campus, where they were taken. Two suspects, both British nationals, were arrested in connection with the attack: a 32-year-old Black man and a 35-year-old man of Caribbean descent. One of them was released on Sunday. Superintendent John Loveless of the British Transport Police told a press conference that "nothing suggests this was a terrorist incident." Both suspects are being held in separate police stations, Loveless said. At the moment, the police have not commented on the motives for the attack. Passengers sounded the alarm shortly after passing through Peterborough station. The train eventually stopped in Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire, about 90 kilometers from the British capital, where it was not scheduled to stop. The emergency stop of the train led to more than 30 officers, including armed ones, occupying and cordoning off the station – in fact, it remains cordoned off at this time. According to one of the passengers who spoke to Sky News, at that moment on the platform, "a man with a large knife was restrained by police with a Taser."

Starting over. It's nice to have new opportunities and embrace them tightly. Marcus Rashford chose the best stage and the best time to be reborn and feel like he's playing in the Champions League again. The English player had gone three years without two goals in a game and almost five without scoring in the Champions League. And in just a few minutes, he scored two beautiful strikes to leave a very combative Newcastle side with their noses in the sand. The Manchester United player showed the way forward in Europe at Barça: knowing how to strike when necessary and knowing how to suffer. The Champions League debut wasn't easy, as expected. And, in fact, Rashford's opening act was Joan Garcia, very confident between the sticks when he played, even in the final minutes when Newcastle managed to score, keeping the St. James's Park pot boiling until the end.

He never played for Newcastle United. And as a manager, he never won a single title with them. But at the entrance to the stadium where Barça will make their Champions League debut, you find a statue of him. "He's a legend. Do you know why? He was one of us," says Mark, a fan of the club. Bobby Robson, the man who coached Barça during difficult times, is one of the most respected names among the fans of Barça's first rival in the Champions League. "Robson was the son of miners. He worked as a miner. Almost everyone here has a relative who went down the mines. And he was a Newcastle fan, but played for other clubs. It made us in Newcastle angry to see how he succeeded as a manager always far from home. And when he finally came, he was already too old. There were doubts about him." Bobby Robson realized his dream of working at Newcastle in 1999, when he was offered a low salary to take charge of the team, then bottom of the Premier League. He accepted. And in the first match they already won 8-0 at Sheffield Wednesday. In the five years he managed the magpiesUntil 2004, he qualified the team twice for the Champions League.
