‘I’ve got Peter Crouch & Per Mertesacker!’ - Dan Burn didn’t get Kylian Mbappe’s shirt after Newcastle’s epic Champions League victory over PSG - who did swap jerseys with World Cup winner?

The Magpies full-back lined up against World Cup winner Mbappe when Eddie Howe’s side played host to Ligue 1 title holders Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday. The Premier League outfit enjoyed the most memorable of European nights, with a 4-1 victory savoured at St James’ Park.

There was a clamour for Mbappe’s jersey during and after that contest, but North East native Burn made no play for a prized memento and joked with reporters afterwards about how he is happy with the swaps that he has made in the past: “It’s about shirts now, you can just go on YouTube and see you played against him. I haven’t asked for anyone’s shirt anyway. I’ve got a canny collection – I’ve got Peter Crouch’s, Per Mertesacker and Wayne Routledge. They are the only three ones I’ve got. I’m happy – get them framed on the wall!”

Newcastle captain Jamaal Lascelles did not ask the question of Mbappe either, with the experienced centre-half telling Sky Sports: “I thought ‘I’m not even going to bother asking for it’. I got Marquinhos, which is not far off Mbappe! I didn’t want to talk to him. The only talking he was going to get was something aggressive! To play against players like that is crazy really, and credit to everyone involved tonight.”

Magpies midfielder Sean Longstaff did try to swap with Mbappe, telling TNT Sports: “I was blocking him from a goal-kick so I tried to get it for my little brother.” He was left disappointed as Kieran Trippier – who revealed ahead of the game that his son wanted to walk out with Mbappe instead of him – winning the race for a much sought-after piece of sporting memorabilia.
