Kylian Mbappe’s goal in the 90+8 minute brought an extremely valuable point for PSG against Premier League representative, Newcastle.
Newcastle entered the trip to France with a certain confidence after a 3-0 victory in the first leg.
Things became even more favorable for the away team when they opened the scoring in the 24th minute with a close-range tap-in from Alexander Isak.
Losing painfully, PSG players pressed forward to attack fiercely. They understand that a loss at this time will put PSG at great risk of being eliminated.
Even in the first half, the home team had 14 shots, with an expected goal of up to 1.7. However, no more goals were scored.
After the break, pressure continued to be maintained by PSG.
Ousmane Dembélé was the one who played quite poorly, missing 3 clear scoring opportunities.
Mbappe also appeared ungainly in front of goalkeeper Nick Pope’s goal.
However, when everyone was thinking about a victory for Newcastle, the turning point came in the 90+6 minute. Dembele crossed the ball and hit Tino Livramento’s hand. After consulting with the VAR team, the referee awarded PSG a penalty.
Of course, at a distance of 11 meters, superstar Mbappe did not miss the opportunity. He finished successfully and sealed the 1-1 draw.
Drawing this match, PSG got 7 points before entering the final round. Meanwhile, AC Milan and Newcastle only have 5 points. Thus, as long as they win the final match, PSG will definitely continue without caring about the results of the other pair.
