Newcastle destroyed a star-studded Paris Saint-Germain side as they romped to a stunning 4-1 victory to mark the return of Champions League football to St James’ Park.

Miguel Almiron opened the scoring before Geordie boys Dan Burn and Sean Longstaff increased the Magpies’ advantage to three with goals either side of half-time. Lucas Hernandez pulled one back to set up a nervy finish but Eddie Howe’s men held on and got a stunning late fourth through Fabian Schar, securing their first Champions League win since 2003 and putting them top of Group F.

Here are six talking points from an electric St James’ Park.

1. Miggy magic rips the roof off

With the Toon Army already reaching fever pitch as kick-off dawned, all Eddie Howe will’ve wanted to crank the volume up to 11 was an early goal – and Miguel Almiron delivered. After PSG captain Marquinhos pondered at the back, the Brazilian’s speculative dink into midfield was intercepted by compatriot Bruno Guimaraes.

The Newcastle midfielder quickly prodded the ball forward to striker Alexander Isak, who fired a snap-shot straight at Gianluigi Donnarumma. PSG’s No.1 did well to get down and push the ball away, but it was only as far as Almiron, who opened his body up to produce a superb left-footed finish which arrowed the ball past the outstretched Donnarumma as St James’ Park erupted.

2. Isak’s bloody mess

When Alexander Isak arrived at St James’ Park on Wednesday, the Swedish striker was desperate to emulate club legend Alan Shearer and become more of a hero in the north east. Unfortunately, he ended up looking like Shearer in a painful way.

After going into a challenge with PSG left-back Lucas Hernandez, the 24-year-old came away with a bloody head, needing a bandage. Fans loved seeing him don the Shearer look but they loved what came next even more.
