It wasn't a dream Newcastle fans.....last night really happened.
From the very first kick off to the end of the game Newcastle United dominated Paris St Germain in their Group F Champion's League game at St James' Park.
An incredible atmosphere was built up in the hours before the match right the way through to thousands of Geordies heading home with big smiles on their faces after the final whistle.
A night that will live long in the memories of all who were there or watched on TV.
Local lads Dan Burn and Sean Longstaff scored as Newcastle celebrated a rousing 4-1 win over French champions Paris St Germain on the Champions League's return to Tyneside.
Miguel Almiron lit the touch paper for a memorable evening in front of more than 50,000 raucous supporters at St James' Park by scoring Newcastle's first goal in Europe's premier club competition since Alan Shearer's double at Inter Milan in March 2003.Rishi Sunak reported to police over Nicola Sturgeon Tory party conference joke
Burn and Longstaff put the Group F tie beyond PSG before Fabian Schar smashed home a superb fourth to secure three points to go with the one with which they had returned from AC Milan a fortnight ago.
Lucas Hernandez gave PSG brief hope when he pulled one back but a star-studded line-up including Kylian Mbappe were kept largely subdued in the Magpies' first home Champions League fixture in two decades.
Fabien Schar finished off the game with a thunderbolt sending the stands at St James' into raptures.
In the so-called 'group of death', Eddie Howe's side sit top after two games as Borussia Dortmund held Milan to a goalless draw at the Westfalenstadion.
Newcastle have 4 Champion's League group points and they'll face Dortmund next at St James' on the 25th of October.
