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

Never has it been clearer that Fiji do things differently cebo
It can’t have been more than 90 minutes after defeat to England was confirmed when the sound of a Pacific Island beat and stomping feet bounced around the bowels of the Stade Velodrome, Simon Raiwalui’s beaten side making their Rugby World Cup exit with a boombox, and their heads, held high cebo
There was disappointment there, of course, perhaps most prominently on the face of the captain Waisea Nayacalevu, frustrated not just about the opportunities missed both against England and earlier in the tournament, but also perceived mistreatment by the officials cebo
For coach Raiwalui, though, the overriding emotion was pride cebo
“The joy is there,” Raiwalui said cebo
“We celebrate together, we suffer together cebo
For 15 weeks these boys have worked hard and we will celebrate that cebo
We’re hurting now in terms of the result but I couldn’t be prouder of this group in terms of what they’ve put in cebo
They’ve built something for the next generation of Fijian rugby players cebo
They’ve laid a foundation cebo

The belief in the team has always been there cebo
I’m bursting with pride cebo
”Raiwalui’s mention of a foundation is key because it feels like finally, after years of governance issues and broken promises, one has been laid cebo
Few of the Fijian starting line-up for Sunday’s quarter-final represent the Fijian Drua, but the impact of the Super Rugby Pacific franchise could be felt off the bench: scrum half Simione Kuruvoli and back five forward Meli Derenalagi - a potential successor to Nayacalevu as captain with the centre unlikely to make another World Cup – were among those to produce prominent cameos cebo
The Drua project is still new cebo
It is only a couple of years since their injection into the southern hemisphere’s premier club competition but already it is paying dividends, the extra cohesion and competition driving Fiji forward cebo
There are the right people in place to build it, too, not just in Raiwalui – previously high performance general manager at the union – but also former Harlequins chief executive Mark Evans, involved off the field with the Drua cebo
With Raiwalui confirming that he will not be staying beyond the end of the year, finding the right fit as the next head coach is obviously crucial cebo

Fiji are likely to gain immediate entry into the 12-team top tier of the new World League, ensuring that their growth can continue across consistent annual fixtures cebo
Having a large Drua squad based domestically to form the bedrock of the national side should allow for a much easier transition into international campaigns cebo
While this might have been the last World Cup for stars like Levani Botia and Nayacalevu, it can be said with confidence that new ones will emerge - 20-year-old flanker Motikai Murray is a figure of budding back row brilliance, while rangy runner Joseva Talacolo and prop Emosi Tuqiri are names to monitor cebo
There is uncertainty over the future of the sevens circuit but it remains a vital proving ground for Fiji, who will be eyeing a third successive gold medal in rugby’s condensed format at the Paris Olympics next summer cebo
There is a tendency to homogenise the experiences of Fiji, Samoa and Tonga, three very different nations clumped together given their relative proximity in the south Pacific cebo
Fiji’s on-islands population is three times that of Samoa and Tonga combined, and there is thus less reliance on the diaspora to provide players cebo
Providing opportunities to let the three nations thrive, rather than just survive, is vital, and different approaches will be required to ensure this cebo
Simon Raiwalui has proved a shrewd appointment as head coach (Getty Images)But certainly there appears a positive plan mapped out that will allow Fiji to fulfil their potential cebo
“We’ve come a long way in this World Cup,” said Derenalagi cebo
“Even though we are hurt and we didn’t get the result for today’s game but as a brotherhood that we formed and the bond we formed inside the team cebo
“That’s what family means to us, even though we are far away from our family cebo
As a team we try to build a family and a brotherhood and that’s what you can see with our celebrations, even though we lost cebo
"We reached the quarter-final in 2007 and after 16 years we reached it again cebo
We will make sure that at the next World Cup, we will climb higher again cebo
