Hargreaves: Newcastle have nothing to fear from Champions League group

Newcastle United should hold no fear as they enter the Champions League group stages.

The Magpies are in the “group of death" as they were in pot four when the draw took place.

Newcastle will take on AC Milan, Borussia Dortmund, and Paris Saint-Germain, with only two teams progressing to the knockout rounds.

Former Manchester United and Bayern Munich midfielder Owen Hargraves told TNT Sports: "No, I mean they're such a brilliant side, the way they work both on and off the ball.

Eddie Howe has done an amazing job to get this group of players into the Champions League, and I like the squad depth.

"Tonali is a good addition, another ball player to go with Guimaraes and Joelinton in that midfield.

“I'm looking forward to watching Newcastle in the Champions League, I think Eddie Howe has got a great group of players to go and compete. I wouldn't be surprised if they get it right, they even top that group."
