AC Milan vs Newcastle United: times, how to watch on TV and stream online | UEFA Champions League
Milan may bench Christian Pulisic after their weekend thumping by Inter, as the Serie A giants host Newcastle United in a tasty opening-night Champions League clash.
Back in the Champions League proper for the first time since 2002/03, Newcastle United begin their campaign with the daunting task of visiting seven-time European Cup winners AC Milan.
That said, the Magpies face a Milan team licking its wounds after a 5-1 thumping by city rivals Inter in Saturday’s Derby della Madonnina. It’s a defeat that may well prompt a reshuffle from Rossoneri boss Stefano Pioli, with American summer signing Christian Pulisic among those reportedly in line to be benched.
As for Newcastle, they head to Italy having ended a three-game losing streak with a crucial Premier League win over Brentford at the weekend.
Elsewhere in a fiendishly difficult Group F, Paris Saint-Germain host 1997 tournament winners Borussia Dortmund on matchday one.

AC Milan vs Newcastle United: prediction
I have to admit, this is a tough one to call. Milan are reeling from their derby thrashing and Newcastle have the quality to take all three points, but the Italians’ experience and home advantage will prove enough to secure a share of the spoils... in a rip-roaring encounter.
Cal’s prediction: AC Milan 2-2 Newcastle United.
