Dan Burn said he realised a dream by scoring in Newcastle\u2019s 4-1 Champions League win against Paris Saint-Germain after being left without a club following rejection by Fulham in his mid-20s.<\/p>\n
Newcastle sit on top of Group F in their first Champions League campaign since 2002-03 after defeating French champions PSG at St. James\u2019s Park following goals from Miguel Almir\u00f3n, Burn, Sean Longstaff and Fabian Sch\u00e4r.<\/p>\n
And Burn, who grew up in nearby Blyth as a Newcastle supporter, said the goal and performance left him waiting for somebody to \u201cwake me up\u201d from his dream.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt has not sunk in, I am a bit speechless,\u201d Burn told TNT Sports. \u201cIt is like dream and I am waiting for someone to wake me up, I am waiting for the bubble to pop.<\/p>\n
\u201cAmazing [to score]. When the flag went up I was gutted. I was so angry for Bruno [Guimaraes] shooting, but it comes back and soon as it got hung in the air I just went for it.<\/p>\n
\u201cI can\u2019t believe it obviously. The home games are the ones we can go and attack and Dortmund is next. I cannot believe I am saying Dortmund is next!\u201d<\/p>\n
Having spent much of his career in English football\u2019s lower leagues at clubs including Yeovil, Wigan and Birmingham, Burn said he has had a tough route to the Champions League.<\/p>\n
\u201cI just tried to survive at that apprentice level and you try to work your way up,\u201d he said. \u201cI was released by Fulham at 25 years old; to come back and play Champions League football \u2014 I am very proud.\u201d<\/p>\n
Two years after Newcastle were bought by Saudi Arabia\u2019s sovereign wealth fund, Wednesday\u2019s win was the biggest of their new era.<\/p>\n
\u201cI remember when the takeover happened,\u201d Burn said. \u201cI was out with my dad and I thought, \u2018I think that\u2019s me done now, I\u2019ll never get to Newcastle.\u2019 Three months later, I was signed on deadline day and it\u2019s been straight up from there.\u201d<\/p>\n
The scorers on one of the great nights at St. James\u2019s Park were players who are far from the \u201cgal\u00e1cticos\u201d many thought Newcastle might be signing under the richest owners in soccer.<\/p>\n
Longstaff, like Burn, grew up in the local area as a boyhood fan of the club.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor me and Burny to score is unreal,\u201d Longstaff said. \u201cThere\u2019s a few here who probably thought we were out the door. I\u2019m so proud to be from Newcastle, I\u2019m over the moon.\u201d<\/p>\n
