HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT: Champions League make surprise Newcastle United announcement after famous PSG win….
The fastest player during last week’s second round of Champions League group games was Newcastle United’s Sandro Tonali.
The Magpies defeated Paris Saint-Germain 4-1 at St. James’ Park to stun the French champions after a goalless draw with AC Milan at the San Siro.
Dan Burn, a Geordie defender, doubled the Magpies’ lead before halftime after Miguel Almiron had given them the lead early on.
Shortly after the interval, North Shields native Sean Longstaff gave United a 3-0 lead. Lucas Hernandez of PSG responded, but Fabian Schar sealed a memorable evening in injury time with a 25-yard strike.
In their first home Champions League match in 20 years, Newcastle achieved their greatest-ever victory.
You would wager on Kylian Mbappe if you were betting on any player to set a fast time on Tyneside, is I correct? Eat your heart out, Kylian; Tonali deserves that small honor.
The official X account for the Champions League states that the Italian surpassed AC Milan’s record maximum speed of 35.5 km/h.
Christian Pulisic and Marcus Rashford and Rasmus Hojlund of Manchester United.
Mbappe, with a speed of 34.4 km/h, came in sixth on the list. David Neres of Benfica trailed Tonali at 35.4 km/h.
Although many Newcastle fans did not equate Tonali’s name with speed, the midfielder was able to reach top speed and help Newcastle win a historic match.
