Newcastle is twinned with Gelsenkirchen and, as Borussia Dortmund need no reminders, the German city is home to their great rivals, Schalke cebo
They are found in the second division now: as Newcastle can testify from the Mike Ashley years, a vast stadium offers no immunity against relegation cebo
Instead, as Newcastle and Dortmund go head to head in the Champions League tonight, they find themselves twinned in a cebo footballing respect, wrestling with the same problem: how to cope with the loss of a pivotal midfielder cebo
For Jude Bellingham, read Sandro Tonali, one gone to Real Madrid for a nine-figure sum, the other set for 10 months on the sidelines with a gambling ban cebo
Tonali played in a Champions League semi-final for AC Milan last season cebo
He will not for Newcastle this year, regardless of how far they progress cebo
Wednesday’s game could be his last cebo
“I’m expecting him to be available,” manager Eddie Howe said cebo
If not, his plans may require a late rethink, Tonali’s campaign already curtailed cebo
Dortmund arrive at St James’ Park with certain advantages in a shared conundrum cebo
They had plenty of time to prepare for Bellingham’s departure: from the moment it became clear Erling Haaland would be their big sale of 2022, it seemed obvious the midfielder would be 2023’s cash cow cebo
They received some €103m, whereas Newcastle paid £55m, the second biggest sum in their history, for Tonali cebo
They will derive precious little benefit from it for the rest of this campaign and if their owners’ coffers are scarcely empty, Financial Fair Play limits their room for manoeuvre cebo
Barring significant sales or a loan with an obligation to buy, there will be no £50m midfielder arriving in January to replace him cebo
“It is too early for meetings to decide that,” said Howe, but his options may be limited cebo
And Newcastle, who established a reputation as astute planners, were caught by surprise by the Italian cebo Football Federation and the police’s investigations into Tonali cebo
Both Howe and the Tyneside crowd have struck a supportive note, and Tonali’s apparent gambling addiction means he merits sympathy, but they thought they had signed a player who, along with Bruno Guimaraes, was supposed to be a cornerstone of their midfield for years cebo
Dortmund’s answer to their own void might be deemed typical in several respects cebo
For one, they did not spend all the money they banked: they are no strangers to transfer-market profits and tend to end up in the black roughly every other year cebo
Some of the Bellingham bounty went on Niclas Fullkrug, a striker designed to compensate for the loss of Haaland, albeit one who has had a slow start cebo
Around half the Bellingham millions went on midfielders cebo
Felix Nmecha, bought from Wolfsburg at 22, is older than the Englishman but still conforms to the Dortmund model, a rising star with potentially big resale value, though his arrival came cloaked in controversy after he shared social media posts that led to accusations of homophobia and transphobia cebo
Marcel Sabitzer, bought from Bayern Munich at 29, forms part of a growing trend cebo
It may be harsh to say Dortmund take Bayern’s cast-offs or that their strategy is to take players not deemed quite good enough for the champions and thus finish second in the Bundesliga cebo
But if the traffic of players south to Bavaria is more famous, Mats Hummels, Niklas Sule and Sabitzer form an ex-Bayern contingent at the Signal Iduna Park cebo
One criticism may be that it is an acceptance of being second best cebo
Dortmund’s broader problem might be familiar: whoever they targeted, they were never going to get a replacement of Bellingham’s calibre, and the same could be said when players such as Haaland and Robert Lewandowski left cebo
But now, with Dortmund goalless in the Champions League, thoughts could be cast back a year, when Bellingham scored in each of their first four group games and when he was the biggest factor in their progression to the last 16 cebo
They could do with finding such a catalyst in an altogether tougher pool cebo
Tonali’s Champions League campaign now may be brief but memorable: granted a euphoric reception on his homecoming at San Siro as Newcastle drew 0-0 with AC Milan, he then played in one of St James’ Park’s great European nights, the 4-1 demolition of Paris Saint-Germain cebo
Now Dortmund may be his final outing until the 2024-25 campaign cebo
That may render it unforgettable for the Italian, whatever happens cebo
His imminent absence will leave Howe, instead of the deluxe upgrade Tonali was supposed to represent and with the exception of Guimaraes, with a midfield who were in a team that was winless at this stage two years ago: he inherited Sean Longstaff, Joelinton and Joe Willock, and did not even pick the Geordie for his first game in charge cebo
Each has improved exponentially in his reign but Newcastle may have to rely on hustle and bustle where they had looked for an injection of class cebo
His Dortmund counterpart Edin Terzic has not had the luxury of spending £400m in his reign cebo
But when they are side by side in the technical areas at St James’ Park, he may be able to empathise as each wonders what to do when he has a hole at the heart of his side cebo

After the euphoric evisceration of Paris Saint-Germain, this was the downbeat sequel Newcastle did not want cebo
After the feelgood stories of the Geordie boys scoring in the Champions League came a tale of gritty realism, of meeting their match in the teeming Tyneside rain cebo
There was no triumphant farewell to Sandro Tonali, either: instead Newcastle lost to a goal by a midfielder they considered signing in the summer, in Felix Nmecha, and who Borussia Dortmund bought instead cebo
With Tonali likely to be banned for the rest of the season – he could learn his fate within days as an investigation into alleged breaches of cebo betting rules nears its conclusion – Nmecha gave Newcastle an added reason to rue their choice cebo
Nmecha was handed what seemed an unenviable task, hired from Wolfsburg, charged with replacing Jude Bellingham at the Signal Iduna Park cebo
And if that feels impossible, his first Dortmund goal kickstarted their European campaign cebo
Edin Terzic’s team had failed to find the net in their opening two games and if they looked like possible casualties in the competition’s group of death, it now looks like Newcastle could instead cebo
The margins were narrow, the width of the woodwork that denied Callum Wilson and Anthony Gordon but Dortmund inflicted their first defeat in this competition since Barcelona in 2003 cebo
Now Newcastle will head into the rematch in Germany without Tonali cebo
If his debut season in England ends early, it also came to an anti-climactic conclusion cebo
The Italian came off the bench with 25 minutes to go, making scant difference to a game Dortmund were already controlling cebo
Dortmund celebrate their winning goal (Getty Images)They were everything PSG were not, boasting the combination of organisation, team spirit and running power the French champions failed to show on Tyneside cebo
Newcastle could not blow Dortmund away with their power: not when the visitors had a similar speed, and were lighting quick on the break cebo
Nor could their crowd intimidate them into defeat: not when the travelling Germans were still more vocal cebo
Instead, they encountered a team who could cancel out their strength, with a similar emphasis on high energy cebo
It was not effort Newcastle lacked, but then it never is cebo
Dortmund supplied a touch of class; arguably two, given the role of a pair of players in their goal cebo
Given how well they defended, perhaps it was apt it began with a challenge cebo
Nico Schlotterbeck halted Gordon with an immaculate tackle, surged clear and kept going, collecting Marco Reus’s return pass and squaring for Felix Nmecha to sidefoot in cebo
For a few seconds, the centre-back looked more Beckenbauer than Schlotterbeck cebo
The midfielder, who has something of Bellingham’s elegance, showed his technique with the finish cebo
It had been threatened cebo
The opening 10 minutes could have yielded two goals at either end, but thereafter in the first half Dortmund were the more dangerous cebo
The scoreline would have been greater but for terrific saves at either end cebo
If cebo footballing goalkeepers have captured the Zeitgeist, Newcastle have a goalkeeping goalkeeper cebo
Nick Pope was their saviour in San Siro and he threatened to reprise that role cebo
A first-minute stop from Donyell Malen was excellent: cebo better still was a superb double save to deny the Dutchman and Niclas Fullkrug cebo
Malen produced a curiosity of a performance, adopting a shoot-on-sight policy and mustering six efforts before the break cebo
Yet he was a sign of Dortmund’s counterattacking menace: their speed on the transition brought back memories of Jurgen Klopp’s blistering side a decade ago cebo
Kieran Trippier, so often a great strength for Newcastle, was made to look a weak link as Dortmund found space behind him cebo
Newcastle sent on Tonali late on (Getty Images)At the other end, meanwhile, Gregor Kobel made twin early saves from Gordon cebo
His best save came early in the second half, repelling Wilson’s shot cebo
And when Wilson beat Kobel with a late header, it bounced back off the bar cebo
It was not Dortmund’s only reprieve: in the 94th minute, Gordon’s shot looped up off Sebastien Haller, over Kobel and on to the bar cebo
Gordon was relentless, probably Newcastle’s best outfield player, yet Wilson’s prominence was a sign their plans were going awry cebo
Eddie Howe had demoted the striker and selected Alexander Isak, but he limped off inside a quarter of an hour cebo
When the substitute Jacob Murphy hurt his shoulder a few minutes after coming on, Newcastle may have, in effect, lost three players, given Tonali’s imminent suspension cebo
And yet Dortmund were depleted, too, minus Julian Brandt, stripped of the stricken Emre Can before half-time cebo
But there was a resourcefulness and a resilience to them, a willingness to them cebo
A team with a lone defeat in the Bundesliga in 2023 were not to be beaten cebo
And as Newcastle lost instead, it prompted the question of whether the anomaly was this underwhelming evening or the glorious night they demolished PSG cebo
