Newcastle's recent victory over Bilbao marks a significant boost for the team, especially after a disappointing loss to West Ham. With six wins in their last eight matches and three consecutive Champions League victories without conceding, they are on the verge of securing a playoff spot. This win not only reinforces their strong form but also raises hopes for a top-eight finish, which would guarantee automatic qualification for the next round. It's an exciting time for Newcastle fans as the team shows resilience and determination.
