News about Felix Nmecha

For long enough, Celtic's defensive record on the road in the Champions League has made the prospect of picking up points feel about as likely as winning the lottery without first buying a ticket. Brendan Rodgers' men conceded 10 times in three away games in their group last year, one more than they shipped on the road under Ange Postecoglou the previous season. Each time you venture into these highly intimidating arenas, you've got a mountain to climb. Give your opponent three goals of a start and you're starting the ascent with your laces tied together and a blindfold on.

ADD Dortmund to Paris, Barcelona and Madrid on the growing list of Celtic's Champions League crime scenes. Confronted by the yellow wall of the Signal Iduna Park, Scotland's champions crumbled and collapsed under the relentless pressure of last season's beaten finalists. When Spanish referee Jose Maria Sanchez blew the final whistle, it felt like an act of mercy. Brendan Rodgers described this as an acid test for his team and, in the cold light of day, they failed on every conceivable level. Had the old BBC final score vidiprinter still been in use, they'd have repeated the scoreline in words to emphasise just how outclassed Celtic were in every department.

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW BY CHRIS WHEELER: The route to the top can seem relatively straightforward for the star pupils of Manchester City's academy. Ellis Simms, on the other hand, belongs to a different group of City scholars. Those young men who reached a crossroads when they were let go at a young age, and had to navigate a trickier path to where they want to be. For him, it was Blackpool, Heart of Midlothian and Sunderland on loan from Everton. Sunday is Simms' turn in the spotlight. Coventry meet Manchester United in the second FA Cup semi-final at Wembley, 24 hours after Foden and City saw off Palmer and Chelsea in the first.

Footage of the Borussia Dortmund team bus being issued a parking ticket during its time in Newcastle for the club's Champions League match against the Magpies has surfaced. After losing to PSG and drawing with AC Milan, the German side travelled to Tyneside this week, hoping for their first European victory of the season. However, their ride didn't go exactly smooth, as shown by a video posted on social media on Thursday afternoon, a parking attendant putting a ticket on the front of the team bus after it had stopped by the side of the road and taken up several parking spaces.

DAVID COVERDALE: Jude Bellingham has been fired by the club, but he may have been his country's teammate. Borussia Dortmund midfielder Felix Nmecha, 23, has trusted to fill Bellingham's shoes after his £113 million transfer to Real Madrid in the summer. And, judging by the way he hosted the Champions League show at St James' Park on Wednesday night, you might wonder how England would regret letting him fall through the net.

During Newcastle's Champions League loss to Borussia Dortmund, the team was dealt with a double injury blast. Felix Nmecha scored the only goal of the game for the Bundesliga team on a bitter night for Eddie Howe's side at St James' Park. Both Alexander Isak and Jacob Murphy were forced off with injuries, but that wasn't the only bad news for the Magpies on the night.

DAVID COVERDALE AT ST JAMES' PARK: After Newcastle collapsed to defeat at a soggy St James' Park, Eddie Howe said they were taught a Champions League lesson by Borussia Dortmund. Felix Nmecha's fine goal on the stroke of halftime was enough to divide the two teams, as the Magpies, who were late to third in Group F, fell to third place after three games. We weren't at our absolute best, and in this tournament, we learnt a lesson because to win games we must be,' bemoaned Newcastle boss Howe.

Borussia Dortmund's victory over Newcastle was far from a 'fluke,' Alan Shearer says, who said that his old team deserved nothing more from the game.

However, Dortmund charged forward through Felix Nmecha and defended resolutely after the hosts were defeated in a decisive first half.

CRAIG HOPE AT ST JAMES' PARK: Newcastle considered signing Felix Nmecha in the summer before deciding double on the $52 million Sandro Tonali. Although the latter is facing a 10-month ban on unlawful gaming, the former Dortmund defender for Jude Bellingham seems to be a safe bet. The german midfielder, who was born in Manchester and then an England youth international, was the game's best player, and his goal made the difference on a rainswept night that brought Eddie Howe and Newcastle back to earth with a bang and a splash. This loss has dropped them from the summit of their group to the Europa League spot, according to Kevin Keegan in the week when they told him how his team could win the Champions League.

CHECK: Newcastle lost their first match of their Champions League campaign after losing 1-0 at St James' Park to Borussia Dortmund. Eddie Howe's side had a draw against AC Milan and a thrilling 4-1 victory over PSG but fell short on Tuesday night. Following a counter attack, they were dealt an early blow after Alexander Isak limped off with a leg injury within 15 minutes before Felix Nmecha put Dortmund 1-0 up. Newcastle puffed and puffed, but the German side fought hard to win a significant victory and leapfrog their opponents.

Dortmund's LGBTQ+ followers have expressed disappointment with the club's £25 million summer signing of Felix Nmecha, who posted homophobic and transphobic social media messages earlier this year. The Black and Yellow rely on inclusivity and plurality, as well as combating social injustices such as misogyny, homophobia, and transphobia in German football, as their tagline 'Echte Liebe' (true love). Nmecha, a Manchester academy graduate who joined Wolfsburg last week after a fruitful two-year tenure, has been chastised for his 'homophobic' and transphobic' behavior on social media and appears to disagree with the club's anti-discrimination policies.
