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
Disgusting pen. Disgrace
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.
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.
Look at Howe’s reaction compared to Arteta’s lol
