Lebouef: Newcastle capable of beating PSG

Former France defender Frank Lebouef has warned PSG not to underestimate Champions League opponents Newcastle United.

Leboeuf admits he can see Newcastle hammering PSG at St James' Park.

"PSG's Champions League group is tough, despite what people say," Leboeuf told CasinosEnLigne.com. "They're going to find a great atmosphere at St James' Park - I experienced it and it was never easy. There'll be 52,000 in black and white cheering Newcastle on.

“Newcastle are at their best when they play like the old-fashioned English sides: long-balls, pressing, and fighting spirits. With 52,000 crazy Geordies backing them up, PSG need to stay focused or they'll get smashed.

"If Luis Enrique and PSG cope with the first 15 minutes, then they can reverse the momentum, but it's going to be hell for the early stages.

"If Newcastle start well and score early on, I can see PSG losing it. However, I think that's the only way Newcastle can win."
