"Newcastle United fans relished Tuesday's UEFA Champions League last-16 showdown with Barcelona, which ended in a thrilling 1-1 draw at St James' Park. Footage shows football supporters arriving at the venue and entering the stadium ahead of the match. "Last 16, that's where you want to be, isn't it? [...] There's a chance. There's always a chance, isn't there? You cannot not hope," one fan expressed. "It's a massive deal for us [...] Everyone's just excited to be here, to be in the Round of 16 against such a big team like Barcelona," another claimed. Newcastle delivered a superb display, matching the Spanish giants despite their 'underdog' tag. Harvey Barnes put the Magpies ahead late in the second half before Lamine Yamal equalised from the penalty spot in stoppage time. "I thought Barcelona would come in and storm us, but I think we've definitely deserved that. 100 percent. We've deserved it. We played really well the whole game," a fan noted after the tie. "Tremendous performance from everybody on the Newcastle team. Thoroughly deserved. Don't think the referee helped us at all. However, you know, what goes for one, goes for the other. We did very well," added another. Newcastle head to Barcelona for the second leg at the Spotify Camp Nou on March 18 with the tie level at 1-1. The Magpies have not appeared in this phase of the tournament since the 2002-03 season."
