The Parc des Princes will not have been completely enough: the Paris SG snatched a draw on Tuesday against Newcastle (1-1) at the very end of the match, and will have to wait for the trip to Dortmund to hope to qualify for the round of 16.
In the other Group F match, Dortmund qualified for the eighth after the victory (3-1) against AC Milan (4th, 5 pts). Everything is therefore still undecided for the second qualifier before December 13.
And facing the “yellow wall“, PSG (2nd, 7 pts) will have to win, but will have their destiny in their hands. Newcastle (3rd, 5 pts) will necessarily have to win against AC Milan at St James’ Park, the Magpies’ cauldron and count on a defeat of the Parisians.
A crucial trip as an elimination at this stage of the premier competition would be a new disillusionment for Paris. And a first in the QSI era since 2011.
As in the first leg in the north of England (4-1), Kylian Mbappé captain Tuesday due to Marquinhos’ package, was perfectly muzzled by the Magpies defense. The French striker was discreet, often annoyed in particular by the referee’s decisions, called three times to the VAR for two contentious actions in the area.
The third call was the right one when he whistled a penalty on a handball from Tino Livramento in the area (90+7).
It was not until the last minute that he scored from a penalty.
Before that, he was uninspired, as when he was alone in the area and attempted an acrobatic and very complicated recovery on a shot from Ousmane Dembélé (57th), suspended from the next match after receiving a yellow card for a challenge .
The captain thought he would come back to score at the end of the match, but his cross shot was off target and skimmed the post (87th).
PSG and its goalkeeper and Gigi Donnarumma, not very skillful with his hands on goal, cracked on one of Newcastle’s rare offensives (24th). The Italian goalkeeper poorly repelled Miguel Almiron’s shot to his right and his defenders did not follow, leaving Alexander Isak to score his first goal in C1 this season.
