Newcastle pair Trippier and Longstaff proud to reach Champions League

Newcastle pair Kieran Trippier and Sean Longstaff were delighted after their 0-0 draw with Leicester City.

The result secured Champions League qualification for Newcastle.

Trippier said: "It means everything. I took a risk when I first arrived but I always believed in every decision I made.

"We've bounced back well, we've recovered well. The club has been through a tough moment but now we're reaping the rewards."

Longstaff also stated: "I can't put it into words to be honest. If you told us two years ago this was going to happen, we wouldn't have believed you.

"We've beaten Juventus here 1-0 [in the Champions League], you see it on old DVDs.

"To be a part of this, I'm buzzing to be fair."
