Newcastle 2 Athletic Bilbao 0 – Wednesday November 5, 2025 8:00 PM
The photo Newcastle United fans all wanted to see on Wednesday!
Eddie Howe leads his team to another Champions League victory.
That makes it three victories in a row in Europe.
While this also means five home wins in a row in all competitions.
A goal in each half, with Dan Burn and Joelinton guiding United to a further three points in the Champions League.
Two great deliveries from Kieran Trippier and Harvey Barnes.
A winning post-match snapshot.
The all-important winning photo = The eighth of the season.
Also three Champions League pictures in a row, with Eddie Howe’s side claiming victory in all their last three UCL games.
Newcastle United’s head coach introduced this tradition of a post-match photo with everyone after every win, as he felt it had worked as a bonding exercise when he was at Bournemouth.
It’s also a huge bonus how much it excites fans of certain other clubs and journalists.
‘Look at them, think they won the Premier League/Champions League…etc.’
I absolutely love it.
Still at least 34 games to go this season in all competitions, so hopefully there will be quite a few more of these photos to come.
