On Monday night, Schar made his 200th appearance for Newcastle in all competitions – a milestone only two other members of the current squad, Miguel Almiron and Jamaal Lascelles, have reached. The former Swiss international arrived at Newcastle for just £3million from Deportivo La Coruna in 2018 and quickly became a fan favourite at St James’ Park.
In his 200 appearances for the club, Schar has scored several memorable goals including strikes against Burnley, Nottingham Forest and, perhaps most notably, Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League last season.
