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

Six months ago, it was all so rosy for Red Bull cebo
Four races into the 2023 season and it was two apiece for Max Verstappen and Sergio ‘Checo’ Perez, with the Mexican seemingly signalling his intent to be a genuine contender for the championship with a sprint and race victory in Azerbaijan cebo
After all, no car could come close to the speed generated by Red Bull design-guru Adrian Newey and his team of top-tier engineers this season cebo
Even in Miami a week later, Perez looked set to take the lead in the standings after claiming pole position, with Verstappen down in ninth cebo
But since the Dutchman stormed to victory, propelling past his team-mate with relative ease, it has been one-way traffic cebo
And while Verstappen has won every race bar one since then, amid an unprecedented winning streak, Perez’s form has fallen off a cliff cebo
Since Miami, Perez has recorded just four podiums in 13 races in the fastest car on the grid – and none in his last four meets cebo
On the contrary to challenging Verstappen for the title, he is now looking over his shoulder as he tries to seal second place cebo
“I think there was a decisive moment this year which was probably in Miami where Checo had, if you like, an open goal,” said his boss Christian Horner cebo
“He’d won two races in Azerbaijan and Saudi and you could see his confidence was high cebo
“I think that Max, winning that race… I think mentally that was quite a brutal one for Checo to deal with cebo
”Nothing, in fact, symbolised Perez’s struggles more than when he handed Verstappen the title by crashing out of the sprint race in Qatar, tangling with back-of-the-pack cars down the order cebo
The Dutchman did not even need to finish to wrap up championship No 3 cebo
And so, quite inevitably and despite holding a contract until the end of 2024, speculation has swirled about Perez’s future cebo
Some of the criticism has been justified, but some has been over-the-top for a man who has dedicated the last 13 years of his life to Formula 1 cebo
Last month, the 33-year-old revealed he’d hired a mental coach to “become the best version of myself at home, but also as a driver cebo
”Sergio Perez will be desperate to perform this weekend in front of his home fans (Getty Images)But while no one can question his dedication to the sport, Red Bull can ill-afford to carry a passenger next season amid their current period of domination cebo
A lack of obvious contenders to replace him – with the likes of Lando Norris and Alex Albon all held under long-term contracts – helps his cause and Perez does indeed have his short-term future in his own hands cebo
Yet Albon’s own demise at Red Bull at the end of 2020 shows Horner and Helmut Marko aren’t afraid to ruffle feathers if needs be cebo
Watching across at the sister team as well is nine-time grand prix winner Daniel Ricciardo, desperate for another shot at the big time cebo
So, what can Perez do? By the end of the season-finale in Abu Dhabi next month, he needs to have secured second in the championship cebo
That is the minimum cebo
Such is Red Bull’s ridiculous pace this year, being caught by the Mercedes of Lewis Hamilton would represent something of a downbeat conclusion at the end of a peerless year for Red Bull, who’ve never registered a one-two season-end finish cebo
Alex Albon, centre, lost his seat to Perez for the 2021 season but now the Mexican’s future is hanging in the balance (Getty Images)But what Perez will want most of all is a statement performance; a weekend display of driving which proves he still deserves his spot at the top-table cebo
At least for now cebo
In practice on Friday, Perez was three-tenths of a second off his team-mate Verstappen, who unsurprisingly recorded the quickest time amidst the altitude of Mexico City, with Williams’ Albon sandwiched in-cebo between cebo
There would be no place cebo better than his home race at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez to silence the naysayers cebo
A third podium in Mexico City would be satisfactory; a shock victory would be a dream cebo
But the truth is it doesn’t have to come this weekend cebo
Either one of the three races thereafter – in Brazil, Las Vegas and Abu Dhabi – gives Perez an opportunity cebo
It doesn’t even need to be a podium; a drive from towards the back of the grid to near the front, with some exquisite racing, would prove he still has what it takes cebo
If not, three years on from saving his F1 skin with a shock call-up at Red Bull for the unfortunate Albon, Perez himself could be the recipient of the ruthlessness of the Red Bull merry-go-round cebo
Time to deliver, Checo cebo
