A record European defeat in which morale and momentum took a kicking at the feet of Lamine Yamal and Raphinha. But, on 15 minutes, Newcastle were level. Newcastle came out for the second half in body only - coherent thought was left behind in the dressing-room. On 52 minutes, Raphinha sent Lopez clear and he finished with class and composure. The second half was tough.
