Newcastle winger Harvey Barnes says he and his team-mates have the self-belief they need to get a result in the second leg of their Champions League last 16 tie at the Nou Camp.

Barnes gave the Magpies the lead in the first leg at St James' Park on Tuesday before Lamine Yamal earned a draw for the visitors by converting a last-minute penalty.

"I thought we played really well," Barnes told BBC Radio Newcastle.

"We controlled their dangerous players really well, and limited their chances.

"We looked dangerous when we got the ball, created some good chances ourselves. You really felt like we had real control and the self-belief to win the game.

"It was disappointing to concede so late on.

"But halfway through the tie we're level and it's all to play for – so we can't look at the negatives too much."

As well as their performance on Tuesday, Barnes takes heart from the 2-1 league phase defeat by Barcelona in September.

"We took a lot of positives from the first game against Barcelona, we felt we had some big chances we didn't take," Barnes said.

"It's going to be a different game away from home but why not?

"We're a team that have got self belief, some quality players, and we know that if we set a gameplan and go and produce it to the top of our game, we can take most teams on."
