Newcastle United chairman Yasir Al-Rumayyan has explained his vision for the Magpies to be the "number one" club in the world.
The Magpies underwent an incredible transformation in the 2022/23 season, qualifying for the Champions League and reaching the Carabao Cup Final after staving off relegation only one year before. Boss Eddie Howe received plaudits for leading to his side to the top four with the financial backing of the Saudi-led consortium.
This, of course, was to the detriment of Liverpool, who finished four points behind their rivals in fifth, bringing a six-year stay in Europe's top competition and all the benefits that come with it to a disappointing end.
