Jonas Gutierrez says Newcastle play against Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea week-in-week-out. So Europe won't be a culture shock.

Jonas Gutierrez: "It's really important that we have made it into Europe.

"When you think back to what people were saying about us at the start of last season, it is a huge statement. Nobody expected us to get there.

"There were a lot of changes in the dressing room and a lot of new players who came in but we had a really good season.

"It was always in our hands to get a place and we managed it.

"At Real Mallorca I didn't play in Europe.

"This will be my first time.

"When you sign for a club like Newcastle you always hope to play.

"I played at Real Mallorca and we played against Barcelona, Real Madrid and Valencia.

"Here I am used to playing Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea.

"I don't think it will take much to adjust."
