Lamine Yamal breaks Newcastle hearts but Barcelona tie in the balance - 5 talking pointsNEWCASTLE 1-1 BARCELONA: The Premier League outfit thought they'd had the dream night when Harvey Barnes scored late on, but Lamine Yamal converted a stoppage time penaltyView 4 Images Lamine Yamal's late penalty silenced St James' Park and saw Barcelona level the tieNewcastle's dream night was thwarted by a stoppage time penalty as Barcelona rescued a draw courtesy of Lamine Yamal's penalty - which cancelled out Harvey Barnes' late goal in the first-leg of the Champions League clash. Newcastle were unlucky not to go in at half-time leading, but for all their promising attacking positions they did little to force Barcelona goalkeeper Joan Garcia into serious action. They only needed to hold on for less than 10 minutes but failed to do so - and the advantage they thought they'd gained from Barnes late goal was cancelled out. Barcelona pressed for an equaliser and were presented with the perfect opportunity with the clock beyond the four allocated minutes of stoppage time. That may well prove their best shot at securing a memorable night in Barcelona next week.
