Burn, a former Newcastle season ticket holder who scored on his Champions League debut during the 4-1 triumph against Paris Saint-Germain, claims he is waiting to be awakened from a dream.
On a night that will go down in Geordie mythology, the defender, who worked in Asda as a teenager, headed his hometown team’s second goal.
I’ve had a really up-and-down career, Burn admitted. I was let go by Fulham when I was 25, so to be playing in the Champions League now feels like a dream. I wish someone would wake me up. The increasing trend that has been ongoing since I arrived feels almost like it is waiting for the bubble to pop.
The French champions were frightened by Eddie Howe’s team from the start as they pressed hard.
The head coach declared, “We had to unsettle them, and our crowd helped us do that.” It was a fantastic evening with a ton of storylines in the actual game, but I’m most happy for the fans.
We had to defend well since they are such a strong squad, and we did. I was highly impressed with our attitude and comradery.
By pressing and doing everything else we do well when we are playing well, we generated positive things in the first half. We had to work hard in the second half to try to cross the finish line.
Before Sean Longstaff and Fabian Schar scored in the second half, Miguel Almiron scored the game’s first goal. Longstaff, a midfielder for the Geordies, stated, “It’s pretty surreal with me and Dan scoring on a night like this.” We have a dream.
