00:00I think it's beautiful, but to be honest, I think in the first half was a quiet St. James.

00:06It was quiet. They felt that the game was not easy.

00:13They felt that Benfica was much closer than Newcastle to score.

00:18They brought their enthusiasm in set pieces, which is normal.

00:22When you have a team of giants, you know that every set piece through win, lateral free kick, corner,

00:35We felt very comfortable in the first half.

00:38But to be honest, the atmosphere was just nice, not difficult.
