Mbappe scores last minute goal, PSG escapes defeat at Newcastle

PSG dominated Newcastle in every statistic. They controlled the ball 3 times more than their opponents, launched 31 shots, and shot on target 7 times. However, like the first leg, the French team's attacking efficiency was not higher than their opponents. They had to rely on Mbappe's moment of brilliance in the last minute to get 1 point.

Newcastle set up deep, focusing on defense. Up front, striker Alexander Isak waited for quick transitions, supported by attacking midfielders Miguel Almiron and Anthony Gordon on the wings. They opened the scoring in the first half.

The first goal belonged to left-back Tino Livramento. This player stirred up the PSG defense before passing the ball to Almiron to finish. The ball bounced back and Alexander Isak quickly scored.

Isak gave Newcastle an early advantage.

Newcastle's defense focused after scoring. Goalkeeper Nick Pope also showed excellent form, repeatedly blocking dangerous shots from the home team's strikers. This was also a match where PSG's strikers were not sharp. Ousmane Dembele and Mbappe missed good opportunities despite the wide open goal.

The home team's efforts had to wait until the last minute to score. Dembele's cross hit Livramento's hand. The referee checked VAR before awarding PSG a penalty. Mbappe equalized 1-1.

Drawing with Newcastle, PSG lost the top spot in the group, with 7 points after 5 rounds. They are 3 points behind Dortmund and 2 points ahead of AC Milan and Newcastle. In this group, Dortmund is the first team to secure a place in the next round.

Result: PSG 1-1 Newcastle
