Lamine Yamal rescued a draw for Barcelona with a 96th-minute penalty to deny Newcastle United a famous win in the Champions League. Newcastle looked to have taken control of the first leg of their last-16 tie when Harvey Barnes fired the hosts in front with a first-time finish late on. But Barcelona were awarded a penalty deep into stoppage time after substitute Dani Olmo was brought down by Malick Thiaw inside the box. Up stepped Lamine Yamal, who coolly sent goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale the wrong way to level the tie up before the return fixture at the Nou Camp next week. But there was still time for another late twist and Lamine Yamal made it 1-1 with the last kick of the game to ensure Barcelona do not have to overturn a deficit going into the second leg.
