REVEALED: Newcastle are into the Champions League... but the real hard work starts now! Projected group stage pots show Toon in the bottom tier, leaving a potential draw of PSG, Real Madrid AND AC Milan

Newcastle successfully qualified for the Champions League on Monday night with a 0-0 draw against Leicester to end their 20-year exile from the competition.

Eddie Howe's side have had a remarkable season, building on last year's 11th place finish as they continue to go from strength-to-strength under their Saudi-backed ownership group.

The Magpies have played in Europe's premier club competition on three previous occasions - 1997-98, 2002-03 and 2003-04 - but they have never got past the group stage, with their last foray in 2003-04 ending in the third qualifying round.
