"Ahead of the fixture, Newcastle's social media channels have released the third in a series of videos, parodying promotional material issued by travel agents of a bygone era. The videos, which feature fan favourites Bruno Guimaraes and Joelinton, glibly showcase the local area for visiting supporters whilst also highlighting the sights and scenes of the cities Newcastle will visit during the league phase."
"Titled 'Club 18-92', the most recent video proudly shows off the array of bridges which span the River Tyne, before poking fun at Newcastle's neighbours down the A19. "No need to go across this one," the voiceover says, as a photograph of Sunderland's Monkwearmouth Railway Bridge is shown. Blyth-born defender Dan Burn also features in the clip, looking over his shoulder whilst sporting a grin, as the voiceover continues, accompanied by the sound of crickets: "There's no Champions"
Newcastle welcome Benfica to St. James' Park on Tuesday, aiming for a second Champions League group-stage win. Eddie Howe's side lost 2-1 to Barcelona earlier but followed with a 4-0 victory over Union Saint-Gilloise in Brussels.

Newcastle released a retro travel-agent parody video series called 'Club 18-92' featuring Bruno Guimaraes, Joelinton and Dan Burn. The most recent clip highlights the River Tyne's bridges, pokes fun at Sunderland's Monkwearmouth Railway Bridge with the line "No need to go across this one," and showcases cities Newcastle will visit in the group phase.
