Newcastle United have discovered their Champions League group-stage opponents, with Eddie Howe's side put into the group of death.

The Toon, who will play in Europe for the first time since 2013, qualified after finishing fourth in last season's Premier League. 

The St James' Park outfit will represent England alongside holders Manchester City, Arsenal, and Manchester United in this season's Champions League. 

The group stage draw was made on Thursday, August 31 at 5pm, with trips to PSG, Borussia Dortmund, and AC Milan to come. 

Considering the immense quality and stature of all of those teams, there is no doubt that Newcastle are in a group of death, and qualification to the knockout stages will be a huge task for Howe's side. 

But given the progress of the Toon under the former Bournemouth boss since the takeover, they are sure to relish the challenge.
