Newcastle Are Back To The Champions League After 20 Years

Despite a goalless draw with Leicester City FC at home on Monday it was Newcastle United who were celebrating as they secured Champions League football after 20-year.

Newcastle dominated the game but could not secure a win at home despite amassing a total of 23 shots. Leicester got their first and only attempt at goal in the 93rd minute from Timothy Castagne who volleyed a shot on target, but Nick Pope was on hand to save it and the game ended in both teams sharing the spoils.

The Magpies last played Champions League football in the 2002-2003 season when Alan Shearer was the captain.
