Bar\u00e7a debuts in the Champions League against Newcastle, a team that lost Alexander Isak in the summer, but is still very dangerous in attack. Discover their main offensive weapons<\/h2> \r\n
\r\n \r\n \r\n Calendar of FC Barcelona <\/a>\r\n<\/div>

Newcastle<\/strong> returns to the Champions League<\/strong> without its top scorer and main figure, Alexander Isak<\/a><\/strong>, but with a very competitive team and a consolidated project under the leadership of Eddie Howe<\/strong>. The 47-year-old coach is going for his sixth season with the ‘Magpies’ and has a squad valued at 659 million euros<\/strong>, a little more than half of their first European rival, FC Barcelona<\/strong>.<\/p>

Hansi Flick’s<\/strong> team, current champions of Spain and semi-finalists of the previous edition, boasts one of the most complete squads in Europe, with a value of 1,110 million euros<\/a> and the most valuable player on the planet: Lamine Yamal<\/a>. The ’10’ is likely to be out due to injury at St. James Park, a stadium where the Azulgrana team will have to be careful of several specific threats.<\/p>

Nick Woltemade, the new Newcastle scorer who threatens Bar\u00e7a<\/h2>

The main offensive weapon of the ‘Magpies’ and their great signing for 25\/26 is the German Nick Woltemade<\/a>. The 23-year-old striker was on Bar\u00e7a’s radar in the summer, but finally arrived at the ‘black and white’ team for 75 million euros from Stuttgart<\/strong>.<\/p>

The ‘9’ debuted scoring the winning goal last Friday against Wolverhampton (1-0)<\/strong>. Thanks to his height (1.98 m), Woltemade is lethal in the aerial game. However, he is a fast player, with characteristics similar to Erling Haaland in terms of mobility and power in individual duels.<\/p>

Unless there is a surprise, Nick will be accompanied by Anthony Elanga<\/strong> and Anthony Gordon<\/strong> in attack. The first arrived in the summer market for \u20ac61.5M after a great year at Nottingham. Last season, the German giant scored 17 goals in 33 games with Stuttgart.<\/p>
