Why am I seeing the media praising Newcastle's performance last night and they didn't deserve to lose????
PSG had 31 shots, 7 on target. Accumulated almost 5xG and created NINE big chances with 73% possession.
Newcastle had 5 shots the entire game. Okay, the penalty PSG got was bullshit but they should've had two penalties before the one in injury time was given.
Newcastle didn't "deserve" a single thing, just like in Milan they were lucky to not be on the end of a hiding.
The only player who wasn't embarrassing last night for them, was Nick Pope.
Newcastle are the darlings of the media atm.
What a great job Eddie howe has done and hardly spent any money!
Erm what!? His spent over £300m since they took over.
The word ‘deserve’ has no place in sports unless there’s been a refereeing error imo. This penalty is not one, the rules of handball and ‘unnaturally bigger’ are just way too subjective. Also there’s nothing in the rule that says if the ball hits another part of your body first it’s not handball.
And yes, with 4.5 xG and 9 big chances, PSG win this around.. 95% of the time?
