Newcastle United midfielder Sean Longstaff says they'll learn plenty from last night's 0-0 draw at AC Milan.

The stalemate at San Siro marked Newcastle's return to the Champions League in over 20 years.

Longstaff said, "We're all learning about this level. It's different to a Premier League game and it is a learning curve. There were lots of positives in the end. We all put our bodies on the line and that is what going to be needed to make a run at this and get out of the group. Like I say this is a night we can probably build on.

"It is really special. Me and Jacob Murphy knew we'd be playing together and makes you really proud. As friends and fans of the club. We knew we could walk out on to the San Siro side by side.

"You remember watching Newcastle in the Champions League. We were sat having breakfast talking about the Flying High DVD. The one where we beat Feyenoord away in the last minute. To do it for ourselves is really special."

Longstaff added: "We have to look at it now and say we know something about the competition. It is about believing that and make it as hard for other team."
