However, Barcelona's arrival in the North East was not all that festive.
When the Spaniards arrived at the hotel, they were filmed against the background of the Wetherspoons logo, the neighboring pub.
The hotel is located next to Wetherspoons on the banks of the River Tyne, and fans joked that this is a peak moment of British culture.
Commentators could not hold back their jokes about the “critically important” dishes that might be offered at the pub, advising the team to find the energy they needed before the match.
“Get some British tapas in lads.”
“Spoons’ Thursday Curry club for the pre-match meal?”
Local publications like Chronicle and Newcastle World called this pub the best in the city.
One fan noted: “Best spoons in the country. Real recognises real.”
Fans even dubbed the club 'Greggscelona', linking it to a popular local brand.
However, superstar Lamin Yamal will miss the match due to an injury sustained during international competitions.
Newcastle will not be able to count on the new player Yoane Wissa, but hopes for the new forward Nik Waltemade, who scored in his debut match against Wolverhampton.
