00:00A night that began with promise quickly unravelled into a nightmare for Newcastle United as they crashed out of the
00:08Champions League following a heavy defeat to Barcelona.
00:14After a hopeful first half, the turning point came in painful fashion, particularly for Jacob Ramsey.
00:22The midfielder slipped just outside his own box and inadvertently played a dangerous first-time ball across the goal straight
00:29into the path of Rafinha.
00:31Ramsey could barely recover to his feet before the Brazilian had slotted the ball past Aaron Ramsdale.
00:38Even after Le Mane's, Jamal's penalty gave Barcelona a 3-2 lead before the break, Newcastle remained firmly in contention
00:47heading into half-time.
00:49However, the second half told a very different story.
00:54Defensive lapses and individual errors saw the game slip rapidly out of reach with Barcelona capitalising pretty ruthlessly.
01:04The collapse left Newcastle on the end of a punishing scoreline 7-2 that failed really to reflect their earlier
01:12efforts.
01:13For Eddie Howe, it marked a frustrating conclusion to a tie in which his side had shown glimpses of real
01:19quality,
01:20but ultimately paid the price for their mistakes, especially disappointing after coming from a 1-0 win at Stamford Bridge
01:28earlier in the week.
01:28Well, let's stay tuned.
01:28Now, let's see.
