Barca to Leave England with Three Points?

Newcastle have had a mixed bag of results at the start of this season. They sit tenth in the Premier League table after one win, two draws, and one defeat. Before the international break, United kicked off the season by taking just two points from a possible nine.

Newcastle returned to action with a much-needed victory over struggling Wolverhampton Wanderers. Nick Woltemade, who was brought in to replace Alexander Isak, netted the only goal of the game at St James’.

Barcelona are the Spanish champions after winning La Liga last term. Keeping hold of their title is the priority, but Barca are two points behind rivals Real Madrid after four games. Blaugrana have won three and drawn one so far.

Hansi Flick’s men returned from the international break with an emphatic home victory over Valencia. Barcelona were on fire from start to finish, with Fermin Lopez, Raphinha, and Robert Lewandowski all scoring braces in the 6-0 rout.
