Newcastle boss Eddie Howe says planning for next season's Champions League campaign is underway.

Howe was speaking before Sunday's clash with Chelsea.

He said, "I'm feeling good. It's been a hectic few days. To be honest, for me, it's onto planning and preparing for next season straight away, really, because once the season ends the players will break and I won't see them again, so there's a lot of work going on behind the scenes.

"But I think it's an incredible achievement, and so pleased that we were able to do it in front of our supporters and get it done there, and the scenes after were brilliant to be part of.

"It's an amazing thing. We're looking forward to it, to next season and to the challenge. We've started that preparation and it will be a thing, when we get the draw and see who's in our group, I think that will be when it really kicks off."
