When was the last time Newcastle United played in Champions League?
Newcastle look set to reach the UCL for the first time in over a decade
In their first full campaign under the management of a Saudi-backed consortium and the coaching of Eddie Howe, newly affluent Newcastle United have undergone a transformation.
Before the 2022 FIFA World Cup midseason break, the revitalised Magpies dropped one game. They then came back to extend their league-best unbeaten streak to 17 games before suffering respectable losses to Liverpool and Manchester City.
Newcastle appears to be in a good position to compete in the UEFA Champions League in 2023–24, barring a poor performance in their last games of the year.
Newcastle United's previous appearance in the Champions League
Newcastle appeared to be on track to advance to the group round of the Champions League in 2003–04 after placing third in the Premier League the previous season.
Newcastle last participated in the Champions League in its current format in the 2002–03 season, when they advanced to the contest's second group stage (which no longer exists). In this category, they came third, behind Inter Milan and Barcelona.
Since capturing the now-defunct Inter-Cities Fairs Cup in 1968–69, Newcastle have participated in 16 seasons of European football.
Prior to losing to Partizan, they had competed in the Champions League twice, making it as far as the second group stage of the event in 2002-03.
European track record of Newcastle United
solely losing two of their 14 games throughout that 2014 run to the Europa League final eight, the Toon Army improved their entire record.
Newcastle has more victories than losses in Europe, therefore when they next play in a group stage, they might push their goal margin in their favour above 100.
