Newcastle and Barcelona played the first fun section but without a goal in their Champions League conflict in St James’ Park.
Magpies manager Eddie Howe said when the pull was made the equalizer had a “magical” feeling.
And while the first 45 did not capture that bills, however it was an intriguing show in the northeast, with the men of Howe for large periods being the best side.
Anthony Gordon saved a great chance from Anthony Elanga’s lively cross in the first 10 minutes, while this burn was perhaps lucky to escape only yellow after a strong challenge on Jules Kounde.
But overall, the Newcastle boss can take very positive from the first powerful section against Laliga’s giants.
In the absence of a teenage superstar Lamine Yamal, who is missing through an injury, Hansi Flick named Marcus Rashford in the starting team but the Catalan club was cut a few genuine chances.
