Anthony Gordon has impressed for Newcastle in this season's Champions League campaign as the Magpies head into the final league-phase game sitting in seventh position.

The English forward has featured in every European game for Newcastle in the campaign and boasts an impressive six goals.

In the news conference before Newcastle's clash with Paris St-Germain, Gordon said he knows he is "doing the right things every day" as he becomes an integral part in Eddie Howe's team.

"I try to do the right things whether I'm flying or not doing the best," he said. "I'm playing against right-backs who are elite themselves. They get paid quite well to stop me."

The 24-year-old has now been directly involved in eight goals in the Champions League for Newcastle (six goals, two assists). Only Kylian Mbappe (11) and Harry Kane (7) have more goals this season.

Gordon has also equalled club legend Alan Shearer's club-record of a six-goal tally for the Magpies in the competition.

"Part of trying to be great is learning to take people's opinions. If you can't, you can never be great," said Gordon.
