"Luis Enrique feels his Paris Saint-Germain team delivered their best performance in the Champions League this season, despite going down 2-1 to Sporting CP. Luis Suarez scored twice, with his winner coming in the 90th minute, as Sporting claimed a memorable victory over the reigning European champions at Estadio Jose Alvalade. PSG would have ensured their place in the last 16 had they won, but instead they will need to get a positive result against Newcastle United next week"
"Ousmane Dembele teed up PSG's equaliser and has now been directly involved in 16 goals in his last 17 Champions League games (nine goals, seven assists). Prior to the match, PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi was asked about Dembele's contract situation. Talks are ongoing over a new deal for the 2025 Ballon d'Or winner, though it does not appear a deal is close. "The club's policy is that there's a salary cap for players, everyone knows it and everyone must respect it," Al-Khelaifi told Canal+."
Sporting CP beat Paris Saint-Germain 2-1 at Estadio Jose Alvalade with Luis Suarez scoring twice, including a 90th-minute winner. PSG created 28 shots but lacked the cutting edge needed to secure victory despite Khvicha Kvaratskhelia restoring parity after Suarez had put Sporting ahead. The defeat means PSG did not guarantee a place in the last 16 and must take a positive result against Newcastle United to avoid the play-offs. Ousmane Dembele set up PSG's equaliser and has been involved in 16 goals across his last 17 Champions League appearances. Talks over a new Dembele contract are ongoing, with the club citing a salary-cap policy.
