Eddie Howe is hoping for a "magical European night" as Newcastle try to reach the last 16 of the Champions League on Wednesday. Newcastle must win at home to AC Milan and overcome a deepening injury crisis to have any chance of progress. Even victory over the seven-time European champions may not be enough for the Magpies to remain in the Champions League as they would still drop into the Europa League should Paris Saint-Germain win at Borussia Dortmund. Defeat, meanwhile, would ensure Newcastle finished bottom of Group F, which would represent a hugely disappointing return from a campaign that featured an impressive 4-1 defeat of Paris Saint-Germain.
