A quickly forgettable shipwreck
Paris is sinking in England
Newcastle overwhelmed a struggling PSG at St. James’ Park (4-1). The Magpies outplayed a completely overwhelmed Parisian team with their intensity, and Miguel Almiron, Dan Burn, Sean Longstaff, and Fabian Schär punished Paris’ numerous mistakes. Although Lucas Hernandez salvaged their honor, Paris, without any power, really didn’t deserve any better. The English team now takes the lead in the group, one point ahead of Paris.
90+3 min: Let it end quickly
This European evening is a disaster for the Parisians, who have 5 minutes of added time to suffer through.
90+1 min: SCHÄR’S GEM, 4-1 FOR NEWCASTLE!!!
The Magpies seal the deal with a sensational goal from Schär!!! After yet another loss of possession by Paris, the English team recovers thanks to the Swiss defender, who passes to Murphy. From just under 30 meters out, Schär strikes a brilliant shot that finds the top corner of Donnarumma’s net, it’s splendid!!!
89 min: Stat’
The Parisians have lost 5 of their last 7 matches against an English club (2 wins).
86 min: Vitinha’s rocket
Mbappé has space on the left and challenges the defense. He passes it back to Vitinha who, without control, fires a powerful shot that goes too high.
85 min: Finally a chance for Mbappé
The Parisian attacker has a bit of space and takes a shot from outside the box. His slightly deflected shot by Lascelles goes too far to the left. However, the referee signals a goal kick.
84 min: Barcola’s ambitious attempt
The young forward tries to make a difference with the ball at his feet, but the English defense enjoys it and Newcastle recovers the ball. And time is running out for Paris…
81 min: Donnarumma easily catches
In the following free kick, Trippier sends a cross into the dangerous zone where Guimaraes manages to get a header, but it is too central to surprise the Parisian goalkeeper.
80 min: Now Zaïre-Emery is punished
Frustated, the young Parisian receives a yellow card after a late tackle on Guimaraes.
77 min: Dembélé’s half-volley!
Found inside the box, the Paris number 10 executes a superb sequence. After controlling the ball, Dembélé drills a powerful shot that Pope saves in two attempts on his goal line!
75 min: Mbappé’s ghost
Like his team, Mbappé is struggling upfront. The striker hasn’t made any difference, except for a few well-placed passes. He hasn’t touched the ball in the English box and hasn’t had a shot on goal.
72 min: Another change for Newcastle
To the applause of the stadium, Almiron, tonight’s first goalscorer, leaves the field for Murphy.
70 min: Yellow card for Gordon
The match is becoming extremely heated, and the English winger deservedly receives a yellow card for a clumsy tackle on Zaïre-Emery.
69 min: Fantastic return from Lascelles!
Hakimi sends a superb crossfield pass to launch Dembélé in depth. The Parisian attacker seems to be able to go for goal, but Lascelles makes a heroic comeback to prevent him from shooting in the box!! What a pity for Paris.
67 min: Yellow card for Dembélé
With a delay, the referee gives a yellow card to Dembélé for an altercation with an opponent a few moments earlier.
66 min: The goal of revolt for Paris?
64 min: Another Parisian change
Luis Enrique keeps his offensive formation and substitutes Ugarte for Vitinha. On the English side, Tonali is replaced by Anderson to the applause of St. James’ Park.
61 min: Stat’
PSG has now scored at least one goal in their last 46 group stage matches in the Champions League, a streak that has lasted since November 3rd, 2015 (0-1 against Real Madrid).
58 min: Barcola replaces Kolo Muani
Luis Enrique introduces a new offensive option with the entrance of the former Lyon player. There are still two goals to make up.
56 min: HERNANDEZ SCORES, PSG COMES BACK TO 3-1!!
Paris gets back in the game! Found by a beautiful chipped pass from Zaïre-Emery over the defense, Lucas Hernandez beats Pope’s exit and gives hope to Paris with a skillful headed goal!! The French defender was on the very edge of being offside.
53 min: No match
The Parisians deliver an unworthy performance at St. James’ Park, where the English team takes advantage of the spaces left. And in attack, still no major chances. Finding solutions is urgent.
50 min: LONGSTAFF SCORES, 3-0 FOR NEWCASTLE!!
The Parisians continue to sink!! Ugarte forgets to mark Longstaff, who is launched with an easy pass behind the defense from Trippier. The English midfielder finishes the job with a powerful shot in a tight angle, Donnarumma is not exempt from any blame and lets it through at his near post!!!
48 min: The Parisians still taking risks
The Parisians haven’t learned from their mistakes and insist on playing out from their own box. Marquinhos is once again close to losing a very dangerous ball, before Donnarumma sends his pass directly out of play…
46 min: It’s back on at St. James’ Park!
Despite this insufficient first half, Luis Enrique hasn’t made any changes at halftime.
