Vini Incident | Saka Deal | Is Howe Perfect For Newcastle?

Vini Incident | Saka Deal | Is Howe Perfect For Newcastle?

Author: Sky Sports February 18, 2026 Duration: 36:22

Tom White and Jamie O’Hara open with Real Madrid’s 1–0 win over Benfica, a match halted for ten minutes after Gianluca Prestianni allegedly made a racist remark toward goalscorer Vinicius Jr. They break down the incident, before Jamie takes aim at Jose Mourinho’s post-match comments.

Next, Bukayo Saka commits his future to Arsenal with a new five-year deal. We’re joined by Harry Symeou to assess Wayne Rooney’s claim that the Gunners have “no world-class players” — and whether that argument holds up.

And finally, it’s a huge night for Newcastle in Azerbaijan as they take on Qarabag. We’re joined by Newcastle fan Matthew to discuss Eddie Howe’s response to recent fan criticism and to preview the crucial Champions League play-off clash.
