Heartbreak for Newcastle as Yamal's late penalty rescues draw for Barca
- On Tuesday, Barcelona's Lamine Yamal scored a stoppage-time penalty to level the Champions League last-16 first leg 1-1 at Newcastle United.
- After substitute Dani Olmo was tripped in the box, match officials awarded a penalty following Malick Thiaw's challenge deep into stoppage time.
- From the penalty spot, Lamine Yamal then slotted past Newcastle goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale to level the game after Harvey Barnes opened the scoring in the 86th minute from Jacob Murphy's cross.
- The draw sends Barcelona, five-time winners, into next week's return at the Nou Camp on March 18 as favorites to reach the Champions League quarter-finals.
