Newcastle United legend Alan Shearer called his son a ‘b***** idiot’ after seeing what he did in Milan for the Magpie’s Champions League clash.
On Tuesday, Newcastle returned to Europe’s top club competition as they travelled to the San Siro to take on Italian Serie A giants AC Milan.
Eddie Howe’s men produced a spirited display as they held their opponents to a 0-0 draw.
Speaking about the match, Shearer revealed that his son was filmed goading Milan fans whilst wearing a Newcastle shirt.

The former Magpies striker went on to label his son ‘stupid’.
He told The Rest is Football podcast: “I said to my son as I always do when he goes to away games, ‘just don’t do anything stupid, be sensible, go and have a laugh with your mates and enjoy the atmosphere’.
“His mate sent me a video, they were outside of the Milan players' hotel, all the Milan players were coming out and getting onto the bus ready to go to the game. You can imagine there are 700-800 Milan fans.”
Shearer continued: “There’s my stupid f***ing son with his Newcastle shirt on. Him and his three mates. I said ‘What on earth are you playing at? I told you to just be sensible’. My god honestly. He’s 23 the b***** idiot. He was fine, he had a great time.”

Speaking about Newcastle’s performance, Shearer said: “Newcastle went to Milan on Tuesday and it was hard work for them. You could tell the last 20 minutes, they were absolutely shattered. I get and understand that, because it's the mentality, it's the travelling and it can get to you.
“Certainly looking at Newcastle it was hard work for them. It was an unbelievable point. They'd have snapped your hand off if you'd have said that to them before the game. I don't think they played particularly well.”

He continued: “If Milan had anyone who could put the ball in the back of the net then Newcastle would have been beaten. But I thought two great performances from Nick Pope and Kieran Trippier. I thought they were outstanding.
“The rest of them didn't really find their feet and found it quite hard at times. Sean Longstaff was maybe another pick. I wouldn't say it was a great night, but it was a great point.”
