"I am delighted for the club and the supporters. What they gave us tonight was incredible.

22:45 BST - Newcastle defender Dan Burn has said their 4-1 win over PSG "has not sunk in".
"I am a bit speechless," he told TNT Sports. "We wanted to entertain the crowd and get the crowd behind us, but we did well.
"It is like dream. I am waiting for someone to wake me up. I am waiting for the bubble to pop. We have a great group and what the gaffer has done with the philosophy we have got.
"I can't believe it. The home games are the ones we can go and attack and Dortmund is next. I cannot believe I am saying Dortmund is next!"
22:35 BST - Pep Guardiola has been speaking to TNT Sports after their 3-1 win over RB Leipzig
"We played a fantastic game in all departments. Everyone was perfect. The substitutes all came off the bench with smiles on their faces, not complaining because they did not start.
"(Rico Lewis) is an amazing, outstanding player. I have been a manager for many years. To find a player who moves really well, difficult to find someone like him. He is 18 years old. He is a fantastic player.
