NEWCASTLE: This was about more than a win, more than three points, more than just getting back on track in the Premier League.
The victory over Brentford was about everything that last season represented — the glory, the joy, the success. This was about hard yards, consolidation, proving a point — and doubters wrong.
This was about releasing the pressure valve and enjoying something so long in the making, something two starved decades had eaten up.
Newcastle United return to the Champions League for the first time since the summer of 2004 on Tuesday night. Italian giants AC Milan the opponents, the iconic San Siro the stage.
