The St James' Park faithful will don their black and white scarves for a momentous Champions League occasion on Wednesday night, as Newcastle United and AC Milan fight for the right to reach the knockout rounds.
Neck-and-neck in the Group F standings with five points to their name, the Magpies currently have the edge over the Rossoneri on goal difference, but both sides still need results elsewhere to go their way if they are to dine at Europe's top table that little bit longer.
However, as the ball bounced off of Tino Livramento's thigh and onto his elbow in injury time, referee Szymon Marciniak saw fit to award PSG a last-gasp penalty, which Kylian Mbappe converted to deny the Magpies all three points in the cruellest and most controversial of circumstances.
It is not all doom and gloom for the third-placed hosts just yet, though, as Newcastle still possess the superior head-to-head tally against PSG - who are only two points better off - so victory on Wednesday coupled with Les Parisiens' failure to beat an already-qualified Borussia Dortmund would send Eddie Howe's team through.
Any other scenario would either force the Magpies down to Europa League football or send them packing from the continent entirely, and despite soldiering on admirably through their wealth of injuries, a lack of options appears to have caught up to Howe's team at the worst possible time.
