It's Oil-Clasico! Newcastle host PSG in the richest match in football tonight, with their owners worth a combined £881BILLION… so how do the Saudi-backed side match up to their Qatari owned rivals off the field?

Newcastle's first home match back in the Champions League is the clash between the two richest clubs in football as PSG take to the field at St James' Park on Wednesday night.

The perennial French champions have dominated the domestic scene since being taken over by the Qatar Investment Authority back in 2012.

PSG have been bankrolled by Qatar Sports Investments to significant success, but the Champions League remains elusive with just the single final to their name back in 2020.

Their latest pursuit of Champions League glory comes against a side embarking on the same path, with Newcastle's return to the competition seen as just the start due to being majority owed by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund.
