According to Daily Post on September 19, 2025, Newcastle United forward, Anthony Gordon, has openly admitted that Barcelona handed him and his teammates a footballing lesson in their Champions League clash on Thursday night.
The Magpies fell 2-1 at St James’ Park, with on-loan Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford netting twice to secure all three points for the Spanish giants.
Gordon managed to pull one back late in the 90th minute, but Barcelona’s control on the game ensured Newcastle had little chance of salvaging a draw.
Speaking after the game, Gordon told BeIN Sports that Barcelona’s style of play was unlike anything he had faced before.
He acknowledged that the Catalan club’s dominance in midfield and ball retention was on a different level compared to Premier League heavyweights like Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea, and Arsenal.

“I think the way they keep the ball was a learning experience,” Gordon said. “We don’t play against that kind of style in England, not at that level anyway. I thought they were the best I’ve played against in that sense. Some of their play in midfield was really top class.”
He added that while Newcastle are known for their high pressing and physical intensity, Barcelona’s fluid movement and sharp passing made it almost impossible to disrupt their rhythm.
“We press with intensity, we’re very physical, but to be fair to them, they did really well,” Gordon admitted.
Despite the defeat, Gordon insisted the experience will serve as a valuable lesson for Newcastle as they continue their European campaign.
