Hello everybody and welcome to today's Champions League live blog for the Round-of-16 second-leg fixture of Barcelona vs Newcastle United.

The stage is set at Camp Nou for what promises to be a gripping encounter after last week's thrilling 1-1 draw at St James' Park, where an 86th-minute strike from Magpies winger Harvey Barnes was dramatically cancelled out by a 96th-minute penalty from Barcelona sensation Lamine Yamal.

Hansi Flick has admitted his side "didn't make a good game" in the first leg and has challenged his players to perform "much better" if they hope to reach the quarter-finals for the third successive season.

Barcelona head into the contest in confident mood, having scored five goals in their 5-2 La Liga victory over Sevilla at the weekend. Despite defensive vulnerabilities, the Catalan giants have a strong record in two-legged ties after first-leg draws, especially against English opposition.

Newcastle United arrive at Camp Nou buoyed by a 1-0 Premier League win over Chelsea, courtesy of Anthony Gordon, and hope to replicate one of their best performances from the first leg.

The Magpies have never progressed beyond the last 16 in the Champions League, but their form this season suggests they are capable of causing another major upset.

Stay tuned here for live updates as these two sides battle for a place in the quarter-finals.
