Newcastle's Burn revels in 'dream' Champions League win vs. PSG

Sports

 Dan Burn said he realised a dream by scoring in Newcastle's 4-1 Champions League win against Paris Saint-Germain after being left without a club following rejection by Fulham in his mid-20s.

Newcastle sit on top of Group F in their first Champions League campaign since 2002-03 after defeating French champions PSG at St. James's Park following goals from Miguel Almirón, Burn, Sean Longstaff and Fabian Schär.

And Burn, who grew up in nearby Blyth as a Newcastle supporter, said the goal and performance left him waiting for somebody to "wake me up" from his dream.


"It has not sunk in, I am a bit speechless," Burn told TNT Sports. "It is like dream and I am waiting for someone to wake me up, I am waiting for the bubble to pop.

"Amazing [to score]. When the flag went up I was gutted. I was so angry for Bruno [Guimaraes] shooting, but it comes back and soon as it got hung in the air I just went for it.

"I can't believe it obviously. The home games are the ones we can go and attack and Dortmund is next. I cannot believe I am saying Dortmund is next!"
