Its the ‘group of death’ Champions League It lives up to its name in spades. Let them tell it to Paris Saint-Germain of Luis Enrique, which is about to remain a foot and a half out of competition this Tuesday. The Parisian team managed to salvage a draw at home against Newcastle (1-1) with a controversial penalty in extra time and thanks to this they will reach the final day on their own although there are many stipulations lessons that still need to be done to close the pass to eighth

He was warned PSG about that fact Newcastle of Eddie Howe This is not a team that is good at it. It was enough to remember what happened at the start of October, when the ‘magpies’ handed them a 4-1 victory that no doubt raised alarms in The Princes Park. But to be fair it should be pointed out that, this time,

Unlike what happened in English territory, the sa Luis Enrique They deserved a better fate than defeat, even if in the end it took a bit of a refereeing push to make it happen. He PSG He has scoring opportunities of all colors, but sometimes the lack of success Mbappé, Dembélé, Barcola, Kolo Muani and company, and later the good work of a Nick Pope who wanted to claim himself as the best English goalkeeper of the moment, they did the Newcastle extra time was reached without conceding a goal.

Before the controversial outcome he marked Alexander Isaac. The ex of Real society was in charge of scoring Newcastle’s goal in the 26th minute, chasing the rejection from Donnarumma within walking distance Starch. The action did not leave the Italian goalkeeper in a very good position, but it did leave a Isaac that showed that he knows how to go where he needs to catch the goals.

From the goal against and after a rather rough start to the game, the PSG he reacted. He Newcastle, who finished the game with eleven players who were part of the starting team, He was defending well and that got him three points in his bag. But Marciniak, the Polish referee who administered justice, ruled for no more and no less than 8 minutes of extra time in a controversial decision considering that this was not a match where a lot of time was lost. And in the 96th minute he awarded a penalty for one of those handballs, because it hit the body of the offender earlier, has not been awarded recently. In this case Marciniak is considered that the action deserves the maximum penalty and Mbappe He did not miss from eleven meters.

Despite avoiding defeat, the PSG It’s not even classified at all. Accounts for the final day say he needs to score Dortmund against a classified Borussia. If you win you don’t have to look at what happens to Newcastle-Milanif he draws he will need the team not to win Newcastle and if he loses, there is an ‘X’ in St. James’ Park.
