๐ธ Kann or can't: Confusion over Woltemade's first Champions League goal
Last season, Nick Woltemade didn't even make it into the CL squad for VfB Stuttgart, but today he scored for Newcastle in his second appearance. Well, at least the goal was credited to him.
It is also reliably reported that the Magpies took the lead against Union Saint-Gilloise in the 17th minute. Sandro Tonali seemed to have put his colors in front. His employer also apparently thought so and congratulated warmly.

However, it seems that Woltemade got his heel on the Italian's shot, deflecting the finish and making it unstoppable.
The eagle eyes at UEFA also didn't miss this, so they credited the goal to the German national player. A debut goal that Woltemade will surely not forget.
