Match of the Week Champions League: Financial head-to-head Newcastle United v Paris Saint-Germain

Newcastle

IMAGO

After over a decade's wait, St. James' Park will witness an international fixture when Paris Saint-Germain travels to Northern England to face Newcastle.

With back-to-back round of 16 departures, the Parisians are hungrier than ever for Champions League glory despite finding themselves in the "group of death".

In the financials, even with Newcastle's new-found wealth, they still find themselves overshadowed by PSG, whose turnover and wage bill are over three times higher.

PSG's recent big signings pushed their squad value over €1 billion, while Newcastle's squad value has hit a personal record of over €700 million.
