Newcastle came within seconds of a famous victory against Barcelona at St James' Park on Tuesday, denied a late win by a 97th minute Lamine Yamal penalty.
And after a heroic performance, during which Lewis Hall had Yamal under lock and key, a win would have been a fair result.
Barnes had finished from close range from Murphy's cross in the 86th minute and as we tried to hold firm, we had a single lapse in concentration, giving the ball away in midfield.
As Dani Olmo dribbled into the box, Thiaw threw out a tired leg and tripped him, Yamal making no mistake from the spot to break Geordie hearts.
