Roll the clock back to this time last year and Eddie Howe engraved his name in Newcastle United folklore with a historic League Cup victory.

Now, Kieran Trippier and his team-mates have an even bigger stage to deliver on, and it will be the five-time Champions League winners, Barcelona, who will be trying to stop Howe's side.

During their required Uefa pre-match news conferences, Howe and Trippier stressed the "important" 1-0 result against Chelsea.

"Seeing players come back, seeing Bruno [Guimaraes] come back there is a really good feeling about the place," added Trippier.

As many Newcastle fans know, the Magpies have never won at the Nou Camp, and they have also lost five of their six away games against Spanish sides in all competitions, with this their first since a 2-1 loss at Deportivo La Coruna in the 2005 Intertoto Cup.

"We are calm, relaxed and looking forward to the game tomorrow. We know the rewards we can get if we can put in a good performance," Trippier said.

"We have to have that same intensity to go at Barcelona and to win the game.

"The lads are ready."
