Leeds United winger Jaidon Anthony reacts after Callum Wilson’s update After Newcastle United’s draw against AC Milan.

The Magpies picked up a point in their first match of the Champions League group stage after a goalless draw at San Siro on Tuesday (September 19).

Anthony, who joined Leeds on loan from Bournemouth in the summer, spent several years alongside Wilson at Cherries.

“A great point away from home in our opening game,” Wilson wrote on Instagram. “Personally, it was a long journey… from Conference to Champions League!!

“Moral of the story:
Never give up on your dreams, work hard and don’t let anything stand in your way. Thank you to all the travel fans and thank you to everyone who has helped me on this journey

It has truly been an extraordinary, somewhat unbelievable journey from Wilson from the Conference to Europe’s top club competition.

He deserves huge recognition for the hard work he has put in over the years, with the striker set to create many unforgettable memories in the Champions League in the coming months.

Wilson achieved quite a special achievement while playing at the iconic home ground of one of the greatest clubs of all time, AC Milan.

The story will only get better when considering the Magpies are drawn in Group F alongside Italian giants, French club PSG and German club Borussia Dortmund.

Leeds ace Jaidon Anthony will certainly be one of the countless supporters of Wilson and Newcastle in their Champions League campaign. But the Whites’ focus will of course be on his own journey, with the winger expected to be heavily involved under Daniel Farke during his interim spell at Elland Road .

“It’s definitely a good point,” said Farke, the Leeds manager. “If before the game you had offered me a point on the road after a difficult away trip to Millwall, knowing that Hull have had a very good start to the season and are a very strong team, a good team, if you had . offered a foul-free match, at one point I didn’t accept because I always wanted to aim for three points but I would say it would definitely be a good result

“Allsop made three vital saves in the first half as Leeds calmly got caught.

“After that game I was a bit torn because I felt after 65 minutes it wasn’t a question of if we would take the lead but when because we were so dominant.

“We didn’t give them a single chance and we created a lot of good chances.

“Sometimes you have to accept that the goalkeeper had an excellent game and you have to accept that.

“One small situation can change the whole dynamic.

“We got a yellow-red card and you can’t press that high anymore and the opponent gets a little more confident and brave, you have to sit a little deeper. You don’t have much control and you have to dig deep. IN.

“I felt that even in that position we had the best chances with Georginio Rutter but in the 89th minute they had an extremely dangerous chance and normally it would have been a goal but they went for it. missed the post.

“In football, you usually lose a match like that 0-1 and you sit in the dressing room and wonder how could you lose a match like that?

“In the circumstances, I’m happy with a good point on the road, the clean sheet and the performance. Yes, we should have been a little more alert to take advantage of our opportunities, but in terms of performance, I’m happy with what the players did and their mentality. Lots of compliments to my boys.”

Rodon was sent off for two fouls, and Farke and his centre-back, who will now be suspended against Watford, felt the same way.

“The fact that he wasn’t allowed to finish the game was tough,” Farke said. “He had two fouls and a lot of technical fouls against Cree Summerville. Really hard.

“The first one wasn’t a yellow card for Joe, it wasn’t even a foul. No, I can’t explain it myself, but you have to say that if you’re reserved, you need to handle the situation a little more intelligently. This is where you have to be a little critical.”
