Newcastle goalscorer Gordon: Barcelona worked out our press

Gordon struck on the night, but only after Marcus Rashford scored twice as Barca eventually won 2-1 at St James' Park.

"It was a really tough game against a top team," said Gordon at the final whistle.

"I felt we had the better moments but they kept possession. They made it really difficult for us to do our usual press and they controlled the game through that.

“We can be proud of how we played. We gave it our best against one of the top teams on the planet. I didn’t think there was much in the game. We had the better moments but we need to put them away.”
