Newcastle's Champions League heroes include two stars born just 10 miles apart – both less than 30 minutes from the ground.<\/p>\n

Miguel Almiron's opening goal, Newcastle's first in the Champions League in more than two decades, set the tone for Dan Burn and Sean Longstaff to make a mark for the locals. Blyth's Burn and Longstaff of North Shields were born just 10 miles apart across five years in the 1990s.<\/p>\n

Their local roots made the result even more special with Fabian Schar making it four after Lucas Hernandez had got one back for the hosts. The result was made even more special considering PSG's depth of stars and squad value of over \u20ac1billion – the third highest in the world.<\/p>\n

After the victory, Longstaff told Jules Breach on TNT Sports: "It's some night. I think we knew it was going to be special with the atmosphere but for me and Burny [Dan Burn] to score on a night like tonight is pretty surreal and I am lost for words really.<\/p>\n

"It is [a dream come true]. I think to be honest there are some of us that thought three years ago we were probably out of the door and it wasn't a great place to be. I am so proud to be from Newcastle and I am over the moon."<\/p>\n

Newcastle fans, can you remember a more special night? Tell us in the comment section below. <\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Burn, 31, returned to Newcastle in 2022, 19 years after leaving their youth academy and coming through the ranks at Darlington.<\/p>\n

The defender had spells with Fulham, Wigan and Brighton before his return to St James', exceeding expectations since.<\/p>\n

Longstaff, 25, joined the academy in 2006 and broke into he first time in 26, since making 144 appearances and scoring 10 goals.<\/p>\n

Longstaff added when asked if his parents would be proud: "Yeah they will be and I think they will probably be a bit drunk as well. They probably weren't planning to drink on a Wednesday night but that might have changed!"<\/p>\n

Newcastle sit top of the group with four points after Dortmund drew with AC Milan in the other fixture on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
