Newcastle United Goal - Asprilla third goal - Newcastle United 3 Barcelona 2 - Faustino Asprilla Hat-Trick - Champions League 1997 - Football Book Cover Print - Various Sizes

This print is the perfect gift for any Newcastle United fan as an iconic football moment is captured in this classic book cover poster.

This version depicts the third goal scored by the Colombian striker Faustino Asprilla on a famous European night at St James' Park.

On their first ever outing in the Champions League, Newcastle United played Barcelona at home. It was a dream tie against Barca who fielded stars such as Rivaldo, Luis Enrique and Luís Figo.

Roared on by the Toon Army, Newcastle took a three goal lead before being pegged back to 3-2 in a tense finale. The home side however held on for a famous win with Asprilla the star as he bagged a famous hat-trick.

His first came from the spot in the 22nd minute, his second a header in the 31st. The third goal illustrated was scored just after half time. It was another towering header from the Colombian after a brilliant run and cross from Keith Gillespie who left Sergi in his wake! Barcelona scored two late goals from Luis Enrique (73) and Figo (89) to set up a grandstand finish, but the Magpies held on for a special Champions League night.

The title of the book 'It’s a hat-trick… a hat-trick for Asprilla' comes from the live ITV commentary by the late, great Brian Moore.
