With Newcastle back in the Champions League, Dan Burn has the chance to collect shirts from some of the best in world football.

However, it seems as though he's not one to stockpile opposition kits, with a surprising trio already featuring at his home.

Burn was one of Newcastle's heroes on Wednesday night as he scored in their 4-1 thumping of Paris Saint-Germain.

The lifelong Magpies fan netted their second of the night, with his header being awarded following a lengthy check by VAR.

He was one of many stars to shine against the French giants and was asked after the game if anyone got his shirt at full-time.

However, Burn is not keen on building a collection like may other footballers don as he revealed: "I'm not sure, I'll have to ask.

Longstaff asked Mbappe for his shirt but Newcastle teammate's boy was given it instead

"But I'm sure there'll have been a few of the lads' kids that definitely would've got the shirt.

"I think it's funny about shirts now, like you can just go on YouTube and see who you're playing against, I haven't asked for anyone's shirt anyway.

"I've got a canny collection, I think I've got Peter Crouch's, Per Mertesacker and Wayne Routledge, they're the only three ones I've got.

I'm happy, get them framed on the wall!"

Fellow goalscorer Sean Longstaff had a different idea after the win over PSG as he eyed Kylian Mbappe's jersey.

However, it turns out Kieran Trippier's son was the lucky recipient of the kit following a historic night at St James' Park.

Burn and Longstaff may want to cherish their own kits after their goals against PSG en route to a more than deserved win.

Miguel Almiron and Fabian Schar were the other two scorers as Newcastle went top of their Champions League 'Group of Death'.
