Newcastle United Star Makes Intriguing Barcelona, PSG Admission

Newcastle standout Anthony Gordon made a PSG admission after the Premier League side fell to the La Liga side.

“Barcelona must be one of the top three teams in the world, one the best teams I have ever faced,” Gordon said post-match. “I don’t think we’ll face a better team. Perhaps a similar level, like PSG.”

Additionally, Barcelona got a heads-up from Atalanta manager Ivan Juric, who warned the Spanish club—and everyone on PSG’s Champions League group-stage schedule—about what to expect from last season’s treble winners.

“The difference was huge,” Juric told Sky Italia. “They are on a much higher level than us (…) Should we have been more cautious? We studied PSG’s games closely. The teams that tried that didn’t even give themselves a chance and ended up losing even worse.

“The only teams that really hurt Paris were Strasbourg and Lens, teams that tried to win the ball back quickly and counter fast. We chose that approach.”
