The Magpies sat out European competition last season after finishing eighth in the Premier League, but a top-four push in the most recent campaign has thrust them back onto the continental stage. Their reward? A glamorous opener against the five-time European champions in the first of their eight league phase fixtures.
Eddie Howe's men have more heavyweight battles ahead, too, with clashes lined up against Bayer Leverkusen, Benfica, and Athletic Club, including a pair of huge nights under the lights on Tyneside.
As for Barcelona, it's been a decade since their last Champions League triumph, and Europe's biggest prize has consistently eluded them ever since. In the past 10 seasons, the Catalan giants have managed only two semi-final appearances, matched by two group-stage exits. Last term showed flashes of promise as they stormed through the league phase and reached the final four, but Inter Milan ultimately halted their run.
