Is Barcelona vs Newcastle on TV? Channel, kick-off time and how to watch Champions League clash

Barcelona and Newcastle are set to contest the second leg of their Champions League tie - (PA)

The Champions League tie between Barcelona and Newcastle is finely poised after a competitive first leg last week.

Eddie Howe’s side produced an impressive performance against the Catalan club at St James’ Park, and will be disappointed to have not taken a lead into the second leg.

Lamine Yamal’s stoppage-time penalty cancelled out a late opener from Harvey Barnes to leave it all still to play for with a quarter-final spot up for grabs.

Can Newcastle enjoy a famous European night and reach the last eight? Here’s everything you need to know.

When is Barcelona vs Newcastle?

The second leg of the Champions League round of 16 tie is due to kick off at 5.45pm GMT on Wednesday 18 March at Camp Nou in Barcelona.

How can I watch it?

Viewers in the United Kingdom can watch the match live on TNT Sports 2, with coverage on the channel from 5pm GMT. A live stream will be available via discovery+.

Team news

Andreas Christensen, Jules Kounde, Alejandro Balde and Frenkie de Jong remain absent for Barcelona, but Lamine Yamal should return to the starting side after illness.

A late call will be made on the availability of Sandro Tonali after the Newcastle midfielder returned to training on match eve having been unwell. Lewis Miley is likely to be out until after the international break, but Joe Willock should be fit to feature.

Predicted line-ups

Barcelona XI: Garcia; Cancelo, Araujo, Cubarsi, Martin; Bernal, Pedri; Yamal, Fermin, Raphinha; Lewandowski.

Newcastle XI: Ramsdale; Trippier, Thiaw, Burn, Hall; Ramsey, Willock, Joelinton; Elanga, Gordon, Barnes.
