Newcastle qualify for Champions League first time in 20 years
Newcastle United have qualified for the Champions League for the first time in 20 years after a goalless draw with Leicester City on Monday.
The Magpies needed just one point from their final two games of the season to secure a top-four finish, and they did so in style, dominating possession and creating a number of chances against a Leicester side that was already safe from relegation.
Newcastle's qualification for the Champions League is a major achievement for the club, which has been in the Premier League since 1992 but has only ever finished in the top four once before, in 2002-03.
The Magpies' success is also a major coup for their new owners, the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund, who took over the club in October 2021.
Newcastle's qualification for the Champions League will be a major boost for the club's finances, as they will receive a significant share of the competition's prize money.
It will also give the club a chance to compete against some of the best teams in Europe and attract some of the world's best players.
