Carragher and Neville dissect Newcastle's next 'challenge' with Champions League 'too early' claim

Jamie Carragher and Gary Neville have reflected on a 'brilliant start' to the new era at Newcastle United and the next challenge after qualifying for the Champions League. The Magpies needed a point on Monday night to confirm a top-four spot, and achieved that with a goalless draw with Leicester City.

The achievement confirms a remarkable turnaround on Tyneside under Eddie Howe, with United transformed from relegation favourites into a Champions League side in little over a year. The last objective now for Newcastle to cap off a sensational season is a final-day visit to Chelsea and the prospect of sealing a third-placed finish ahead of Manchester United.

Speaking ahead of the 0-0 draw with the Foxes, Carragher and Neville discussed how a return to the Champions League after two decades will impact the Magpies. Here is a full transcript of the Monday Night Football segment with presenter David Jones where the Sky Sports pundits talked through what comes next for Newcastle.
