Former England "Newcastle" football team forward Giuseppe Rossi has made interesting predictions about the "Newcastle" - "Barcelona" match to be held within the 1/8 final stage of the Champions League. The Italian star, who scored 139 goals during his career, showed how his former team can overcome this difficult test.
Idman.Biz reports with reference to the "Sports Mole" publication that Rossi believes that the Catalan club is the favorite, but highly appreciates the chances of the British.
Rossi stated that Newcastle's main weapon should be physical play and an early goal:
"Barcelona is always a difficult opponent, I admire their style of play. I think they are the favorite of the pair. But if Newcastle can find a way to distract the opponent, things can change. It is necessary to move the game to the level of physical struggle and create pressure on Barcelona by scoring an early goal. This is the best way to pass the stage."
Eddie Howe's team can turn into a nightmare for any opponent on their home field. It should be noted that the parties have already met in the group stage this season. In that game, "Barcelona" won with a score of 2:1, and the guests' second goal was made official by Markus Rashford's spectacular shot from a long distance.
