PSG should’ve lost . They played like shit. Specifically that Barcola guy
Football / Soccer / Calcio / Futebol / Fußball
All I have to say and I think I can speak for all French NT fans, Kingsley Coman please stay healthy until the euros fam don’t leave us with Dembele on that right wing
I would have took a draw if any of the dozens of gilt edge chances PSG had went in, but this bizarre pen is a shit way to end the game.
What were non English broadcasts saying about the call?
ce n'est pas du handball
I’ll accept the technicality, it’s harsh as fuck but thems the rules I guess.
Super proud of the effort put in by a threadbare squad. The club has come so far in just a couple of years. Moments like this are just fuel for the future. Howay!
Nah dude, those are not the rules
I was just going off the cbs explanation, to be fair in my mind that shouldn’t ever be called.
Still have a chance of getting through!
Harsh pen but that goal was coming for about 40 minutes. Can't just sit back and boot the ball away with no desire to keep possession.
I know that this sub has a huge anti PSG bias (even when it's another oil club on the other side). So yes, PSG can be considered very tough. I agree with that. But for me there was a penalty on Hakimi and PSG and a handball by Newcastle earlier which was surely more of a penalty than the latter decision.
However, PSG were cursed in this match, on a "normal" evening PSG should put 4 in the second half. Newcastle never got past the midfield again from the second half onwards. And they can thank Donnaruma for giving them a ridiculous goal.
In short, Newcastle are a good team with heart, but for me PSG were clearly the better team tonight and a draw is the minimum.
In any case, this group is still wide open. Newcastle, Milan and PSG can still qualify. PSG can finish first or third. It's wide open.
A bit tiring to see the same comment over and over : intent does not matter, hitting another part of the body does not matter : read rule 12 it's easy to find (I just did because I thought the other body part was in the rule as well : it's not it's just a PL thing).
I do agree it's harsh but the first handball earlier in the 2nd half should definitely have been given so in my biased opinion, it evens out.
Last thing, if I ever want someone to take this penalty, it's Kylian. The lad just seems unfazed while 40k people are shitting themselves in the stands.
It’s because ambiguity of the rule. It’s a foul if the body is made unnaturally bigger by hand/arm is not a consequence or justifiable by the player’s body. His body was made larger yes, but as a result of his movement as he was in natural motion.
It’s too ambiguous cause where do draw the line? Having your trailing your body is a natural movement of the body as to keep balance.
Key thing here though is that it doesn’t hit the hand. It hits the chest and deflects onto the hand.
Disgusting pen. Disgrace
Absolute disgrace of a result. Newcastle were robbed blind with that penalty.
lost vs one of the farmers league club. Not enough money in english league maybe to buy the best players in the world? What a shame. I wouldn't want to be in your shoes.
Who lost?
while i did think that PSG would eventually score i wasn't expecting it to happen that way. that call was inexcusable, i would say almost corrupt.
50/50 call, coulda went either way. Think psg deserved a pk earlier as well. Think Newcastle got away with it
HOW do you get 31 shots and a 4.5XG and your only goal is a rigged penalty?? Didn’t watch the game but can someone tell me who was struggling to finish lol
If you don't like PSG, remember that they'll get robbed in the last eight or quarter-finals against Barcelona, Real, United or whoever. For every favorable decision granted to PSG, 5 are given to their opponents.
Please be serious
Hate when people look at games where one side is held scoreless like that and think the other team defended well, Newcastle gave up chance after chance and wasted countless opportunities to hold on to possession or fully clear the ball. Woeful defending but still robbed as PSG were as clinical as a team of Antonys up front
Great game by mbappe could’ve had 2-3 assists
he had a shit first half because it didnt work with Kolo. Was much better when Kolo was subbed out
Oh no! Anyway...
All the talk will (rightfully) be about the penalty but can we have some appreciation for Lewis Miley. Looks a very interesting prospect to say the least. Nothing out of this world on the ball, he does the simple stuff right (which is no slight on him btw) but off the ball his reading of the game and football iq is insane for a 17 year old
GET FUCKED NEWCASTLE HAHAHAAAA
Decent result. Galling conclusion. No idea if the pun was intended
Feel gutted for Newcastle this would’ve been their biggest night since ‘69. Def were weaker in the second half, but that was not a pen

Eddie Howe EXPLOSIVE POST MATCH INTERVIEW BLASTS REFEREE AND WILL GET LETTER OF SUPPORT FROM CLUB
Take note Mikel. That's how a man with class conducts himself
Lol man with class, come off it. Ask him about his bosses and what they do in their free time
Kylian Mbappé. Composed. Pity for Newcaslte.
Horrible call indeed. That was totally unintentional. I can only guess the referees discussed that the "arm was extended away from the body" but that is certainly not an "unnatural position". So I don't get what the rule even is anymore.
The handball rule is shit but unfortunately that's the right call. Ref has to give it you can't blame him or VAR for following the IFAB guidelines. Very similar to Napoli penalty against Real Madrid in matchday 2.
How is it the right call? He is in a natural position given the action he performed - which was sprinting forward
He is sprinting back & the ball hit his body and deflected to the hand. It's almost 100% not a pen
Welcome to Europe Newcastle
UEFAGermain doesn't roll off the toung like UEFALona but still that pen was something.
Mbappe is not the player he thinks he is
4.5 xG for PSG, 3 contentious situations in the NC pen area (especially the foul on Hakimi) and only 1 of them granting a penalty, but still crying for robb.
Don't change anything, delusionals.
Who cares about xG. PSG missed those chances and deserved nothing from the game.
Alan Shearer, muddy
all the talk will be about the penalty decision, but can we have same appreciation of pundits and Newcastle fans claiming "Robbed!" with a straight face. absolutely battered but have nothing but admiration for a fan group and a media outlets with saudi envelopes in their pockets for the level of dedication to having their head in the sand. Truly amazing performance.
