Many Newcastle fans on our discussion page are taking this tough loss in stride, looking to the future with hope.
Kevin K: Every side has to learn some tough lessons in Europe. We competed, but were naive at key points, with a squad lacking in European experience. It hurts right now, but given we were in the Premier League relegation zone two years ago, I’ll take it.
Geoff W: Very disappointed but still proud as to how far we have got and how far we have come in 2 years. It is brutal at this level. Concentrate on the cups this year. Next year have a tilt at the title with no European distractions.
Graeme L: The magpies are easily startled, but they’ll be back and in greater numbers
