Paris Saint Germain had a very difficult Champions League game to endure against Newcastle United. The Ligue 1 giants managed to limit the Magpies from relishing 3 points to 1 point. Amid the madness, a last-minute penalty was awarded to PSG and Kylian Mbappe buried it into the back of the net. After the game, the PSG captain admitted that his team couldn’t win despite dominating the game.

This result has also impacted both teams on their points table. The French club is now 3 points behind the group leaders Borussia Dortmund and Newcastle is sitting in third place with 5 points in the group of death, as the fans call it.

Kylian Mbappe feels his PSG team could not convert chances

Paris Saint Germain scraped in a last-minute penalty to draw the game. This is despite them having 31 shots on goal in the whole game. In the post-match presser, Kylian Mbappe expressed, “In a Champions League match, you can’t have so many opportunities and not score. It’s not the structure or the organization. It’s us, the players, we have to be more clinical. I had opportunities to score and I have to score, that’s clear. Everyone who had eyes saw that we dominated”, as compiled by RMC Sport.

Newcastle United dominated initially. It paid off as they took the lead through star striker Alexander Isak in the 24th minute. However, it was one-way traffic after the goal. PSG’s attackers tried to score goals throughout the game. However, they needed a last-minute penalty decision to go their way to rescue a precious point. Kylian Mbappe showed his nerve and all his experience to score in the 90+8th minute.
