Newcastle United owners sent stunning message by Borussia Dortmund fans, following European defeat

Newcastle United slumped to a 2-0 defeat to Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League – and the German team’s famous fanbase had their own eye-catching message for their Premier League opponents.

The Magpies now sit bottom of the Group of Death after a second successive European defeat as goals from German stars Niclas Fullkrug and Julian Brandt were enough to sink Eddie Howe’s side. Newcastle lost both matches to Dortmund, while AC Milan defeated Paris Saint-Germain in the other match of the group.

But a banner unveiling the iconic Yellow Wall especially for Newcastle’s controversial owners proved just as powerful as BVB’s display, proving the gulf between England’s fan culture and that of North Rhine-Westphalia.

“You don’t care about the sport. All you care about is money!” read the banner that hung over the stands during the match. Debris such as tennis balls and pieces of cardboard were also strewn on the field by fans The black and yellow showing their disapproval of Newcastle’s owners in the Middle East.
