Hargreaves says Newcastle have an “amazing story”.
16:50 - 'A BEAUTIFUL THING'
The Champions League draw is a “beautiful thing” according to Owen Hargreaves, and the TNT Sports expert says the players involved will be “super excited”.

The ceremony will see the 2022/23 UEFA Men's Player of the Year, UEFA Women's Player of the Year, UEFA Men's Coach of the Year and UEFA Women's Coach of the Year awards presented.
16:25 - LONG AWAITED RETURN FOR NEWCASTLE
Newcastle are competing in the UEFA Champions League for the first time in 20 years and boss Eddie Howe admits the competition will "stretch" his squad.
Howe told TNT Sports: "Behind the scenes there's been a lot of preparation and making sure that we're [as] organised as we can be for the Champions League and everything that that brings.
"I think for me, I haven't really gone there yet mentally, we've got so many Premier League games before the competition starts.
"We need to make sure we're ready for it because it will be a change and an added dynamic for the season.
"I'm sure it will test us and stretch us in lots of different ways, but I think ultimately we have to look at it as a huge positive, and we're really looking forward to it."
16:15 - HOW ABOUT CELTIC V MAN UTD?
Rangers may have been eliminated last night - after a heavy defeat to PSV (check out the highlights below) - but Scottish rivals Celtic are in and could meet either Man City, Man Utd or Arsenal.
And don't forget about Union Berlin! The Bundesliga side are making their Champions League debut this season.
16:10 - COULD CITY DRAW REAL?
A mouth-watering situation could see Treble winners Manchester City thrown into the same group as Real Madrid.
That’s because the reigning European champions are in Pot 1, while Madrid are in Pot 2 after finishing second in La Liga.
Other potential clashes of the giants could see Arsenal in the same group as Paris Saint-Germain or Harry Kane's Bayern Munich!
Newcastle are in Pot 4 and, just imagine, could be drawn with AC Milan, Real Madrid and PSG...
