Some Newcastle United fans have been reacting to Villarreal vs Young Boys on Tuesday evening.

Why are Newcastle fans interested in a Champions League game between a Spanish side and a Swiss club? Well, Villarreal boss Unai Emery is reportedly their first choice to become their new manager.

Indeed, it has been reported that Amanda Staveley wants to get Emery into the club before the weekend, and while Emery’s post-game comments suggested that nothing is close, he has admitted that he will need to have a conversation with the club president if Newcastle make an approach.

As you can imagine, Newcastle supporters had a keen eye on the Villarreal game after these reports, and there was something of a mixed reaction.

Some fans were quite excited to see their potential new boss winning in the Champions League, while others were quick to point out flaws in this performance, poking holes in the defending.
