Newcastle United trio Sean Longstaff, Kieran Trippier and Nick Pope were over the moon after the Magpies secured their Champions League place for next season following a goalless draw with Leicester City. The Toon were the dominant force in the game but unable to break down a resolute Foxes side that earned an important point in the fight against the drop.
"I can’t put it into words it to be honest," Longstaff told Sky Sports at full-time. If you’d told us two years ago we wouldn’t have believed you but we brought Tripps in, Popey in and a lot of the other boys as well. It’s unbelievable and I’m so proud of everyone.
"You hear the stories, you hear of Asprilla getting a hat-trick in the Champions League - beating Juventus here one nil, you see that on DVDs. To hopefully be a part of it and be in those nights it's going to be so special - I’m just buzzing. I've not quite looked at who we'll be facing, I'll let them [the fans] do that."
