Eddie Howe, the Newcastle manager, conceded that Borussia Dortmund gave his team a Champions League schooling as they suffered a loss in rainy St James' Park. The only goal of the match came from Felix Nmecha just before half-time
According to Daily Mail, Howe said: "We weren't at our absolute best and in this competition that is a lesson for us because to win games we have to be."
"This is the elite, so any small mistake you make is liable to get punished. We made one just on half-time and seconds later we conceded.Against top quality teams, it was a lesson for us on how fine the margins are going to be. If you dip below your best, it is tough to get results."
Dortmund did something that PSG couldn't during their visit. They began the game swiftly and capitalized on the host's aggressive pressing.
