A win against the English representative would have helped PSG secure a ticket to the next round. However, the Paris team was a big disappointment. They were 1-0 down to Newcastle in the second half stoppage time. Fortunately, they were awarded a penalty in the 90+8 minute. From the 11m mark, Mbappe scored the equalizer 1-1.

Entering the match against Newcastle, PSG fielded their strongest lineup with the attacking quartet of Mbappe, Lee Kang In, Dembele, and Muani. On the other side of the battle line, Newcastle played with the attacking trio of Almiron, Isak, and Gordon.

With home advantage, PSG took the initiative to apply pressure. They had more possession but struggled against Newcastle's good defense. When the Parisians attacked a lot but failed to score, they paid the price.

In the 24th minute, Livramento dribbled skillfully through the PSG defenders before passing the ball to Almiron. The Paraguayan's shot was blocked by goalkeeper Donnarumma but Isak was in the right place to open the scoring for Newcastle.

After conceding a goal, PSG were forced to push forward in search of a goal. However, on a sublime day, goalkeeper Nick Pope denied Mbappe and Dembele's finishing opportunities.

In the second half, coach Luis Enrique continuously made personnel adjustments but could not help PSG create a breakthrough. PSG's strikers showed signs of impatience and could not take advantage of opportunities.

It was thought that the match would end with a victory for Newcastle, but the turning point of the match occurred in the 90+8 minute. The ball touched Livramento's hand and the referee awarded PSG a penalty. On the 11m mark, Mbappe excellently scored to level the score 1-1.

However, the situation where the referee awarded PSG a penalty created a big controversy. Newcastle claimed that Livramento touched his chest before it bounced into his hand. Therefore, according to FIFA rules, the referee could not award a penalty to the Newcastle player.

Line-up:

PSG : Donnarumma, Hakimi, Skriniar, Hernandez, Danilo (Ramos 85'), Ruiz, Ugarte (Vitinha 62'), Lee Kang In (Asensio 82'), Dembele, Muani (Barcola 62'), Mbappe
