Newcastle United v AC Milan: Champions League match has 'hallmarks of being special' says Eddie Howe

Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe believes Wednesday's Champions League match with AC Milan "has got all the hallmarks of being a special game".

Newcastle must beat Milan at St James' Park to reach the knockout stages and hope Paris St-Germain do not beat already qualified Borussia Dortmund.

The Magpies are third in Group F, level on points with Milan and two points behind second-placed PSG.
