Newcastle United defender Dan Burn couldn't hide his delight when they qualified for the Champions League.

The Magpies are guaranteed to finish in the top four of the Premier League, with third place still a possibility.

Burn, who played in the 0-0 draw against Leicester City on Monday, admitted he was over the moon at the season's outcome.

The Geordie defender told NUFCTV: "It's madness! I can't believe we've got to the Champions League. It was a bit nervy towards the end, but I think we've been brilliant all season and thoroughly deserve it. It's amazing to do it at home in front of the fans.

"It's class, man. To do it at home, with this atmosphere, all the flags before the game and stuff. We knew it would be a bit nervy and Leicester looked like they were happy with the point as well. Popey has had to pull a big save off at the end, but listen, absolutely brilliant.

"It's such a great achievement. We knew it's going to be a tough season next season, but honestly, I can't believe we have managed to get to a League Cup final and Champions League this year. It's amazing!"
