After Newcastle beat Benfica 3–0, Mourinho delivered a veiled dig at the St James’ Park atmosphere. On-field, Anthony Gordon starred and Harvey Barnes struck twice, including finishing a Nick Pope long-throw routine. Newcastle mixed direct restarts with wing overloads, forcing Benfica’s block to collapse after the opener. Mourinho’s post-game barb contrasted with Howe’s clinical tweaks and home support that historically amplifies pressure in high-leverage European nights.

Newcastle manager Eddie Howe is holding post-game training sessions to sharpen his side’s attacking edge after Alexander Isak’s departure left a major void. Record signing Nick Woltemade has only scored once since joining.

With Isak now at Liverpool, Newcastle need Woltemade to adapt quickly or risk enduring a prolonged scoring drought.

Signed for £69m from Stuttgart, Woltemade’s aerial dominance and work rate impressed Eddie Howe, who hailed his “technical qualities and intelligence.” The debut goal settled nerves, with Toon fans chanting his name as he instantly began to fill Isak’s massive shoes.
