Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe is setting his sights on their upcoming Champions League match against Paris Saint-Germain, emphasizing that the focus is on securing a positive result rather than seeking revenge for past encounters. The Magpies are preparing for their trip to Paris with the aim of improving their standing in the competition.

Newcastle eased past PSV Eindhoven with a 3-0 victory at St. James' Park, boosting their chances of qualifying automatically for the knockout stage. Goals from Yoane Wissa, Anthony Gordon, and Harvey Barnes secured the win, showcasing Newcastle's attacking prowess. Howe acknowledged the significance of the upcoming match against PSG, recognizing it as potentially their most difficult final game.

The Champions League format has been modified this season, and Newcastle are aiming to finish in the top eight to bypass the play-off round. Their recent form in the Champions League has been strong, with confident victories.

Despite a 1-1 draw against PSG in their previous encounter, where a late penalty denied Newcastle a win, Howe insists the team is not driven by revenge. The focus remains on executing their game plan and securing a victory to enhance their chances of progressing further in the tournament.

Newcastle's history in European competition dates back to the 1968-69 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup, which they won. Their first Champions League appearance was in 1997-98. This season marks their 18th season in European football.

The team is riding high after the win against PSV, but Howe is aware of the challenges that PSG will pose. He is urging the team to maintain their focus and replicate their home form on the road. A positive result in Paris would significantly increase their chances of advancing to the knockout stages and making a significant impact in this year's Champions League.
