I agree that Newcastle's success in qualifying for the Champions League is a huge success for the coach and his players. Newcastle were an average team a few seasons ago, but they have experienced an extraordinary metamorphosis since Mohammed Salman acquired the team.

Eddie Howe has been an important figure in Newcastle's success in breaking into the Champions League, but he has a very big stage to prove the capacity of the team and himself. The Champions League is completely different from the domestic league, so Eddie Howe will definitely feel a lot of pressure from the atmosphere of the match.

Yes statistically marking exactly 20 years since Newcastle returned to playing in the Champions League for next season thanks to their success in finishing fourth in the English Premiere standings. I agree with you that next season will be even tougher for Eddie Howe and his squad under pressure. Because playing in the Champions League is not enough with determination and motivation, Newcastle must have team mentality and squad depth if they want to go further in the Champions League.

But the happiness of the fans when they qualified for the Champions League was extraordinary, I think Newcastle should strengthen their team by bringing in some experienced players to balance and maintain the depth of the squad in this transfer market. Of course this is no longer a problem for them at the moment, considering that the new Newcastle owners are ready to go head-to-head in buying players. One more thing Newcastle must learn from Chelsea and Man City if they have the ambition to win the Champions League, because everything needs time and luck itself.
