1997 September 17 Newcastle United England 3 Barcelona Spain 2 Champions League 

Just a fantastic performance against the giants of Spain. From a born and bred Geordie I don’t mind saying I was nearly crying tears of joy watching this game. That last Asprilla header was just amazing. What a run and cross from Gillespie....and the finish for his hat trick. What words could ever describe it. Tino !! Great memories.

I was there that night. Two days before joining the Army. What a night Tino Tino Tino

Remind me of the days when newcastle is one of english clubs giants.

Who is watching in 2023? Seems like Newcastle are on their way to more UCL memories !

St James Park looked so exotic back then.

Asprilla, what a legend!

One of the best European ties ever played. Thanks sp and RU-vid

RIP free champions league. Now we have to pay-to-view magical moments like this.

This game against Barcelona and the 0-5 Argentina v. Colombia, were the two greatest games in Tino Asprilla's career. Fantastic performances.

Back then , when Newcastle was a GIANT and barcelona a domestic team. :)), what a game from Asprilia

Now we sit back against Brentford reserves. Wish I was old enough to live these moments at the time. Asprilla was so unpredictable and Gillespie was a proper winger, top drawer

Brilliant result brilliant memories those were the days even though we won nowt lol

Absolutely incredible atmosphere

Shame that asprilla was do undisciplined, man could have been one of the best players in the world

I saw the "penalty" and thought to myself: "WTF??? That's NOT a penalty, fucking garbage referee". And then I saw the referee and I was like "Oh... it's Mr. Collina. My apologies, Mister".... When Collina says it's penalty you'd better believe it IS penalty, even if it doesn't look like one xD .... I have been fortunate enough to watch Pierluigi referee in the early 2000s and I swear on my life that in all of the matches that I've watched him referee he hasn't made a single mistake, no matter how difficult the scenarios have been, or who he had to referee. That man has been a walking institution of cold blood, righteousness and refereeing ability. And if he says that this is a penalty it most definitely is. Case closed!

What about those 2 crosses from Gillespie though???

my father was there that night and his friend in the police force told him they where scared that one of the stands would collapse because of the fans going mental

Gillespie, one of the best crossers of the ball the game has ever seen!

4:33 There's a reminder of the early years of the current format Champions League. The clubs were forced to keep the front three rows empty right around the ground in order to make the billboards for UEFA's official sponsors that much more prominent.

St James cathedral at it's loudest.

Salomon Rondon could be the new Tino Asprilla

Back in the days of the real Toon Army....

I forgot how good those headers were by tino

ESPN's grapics - on point IMO

WATCHED HIS 10 BEST GOALS, REMINDS ME OF PELE.

i don't understand why the final whistle and a bit of the winning team's celebration isn't part of these highlights

I'm crying me eyes oot here, oh memories

Back then it wasn't if we score, it was how many we will score, we held on but got beat 2 - 0 at the nou camp, brilliant memories
