"Victory at the Parc des Princes on Wednesday would have taken PSG into the top eight, and they made a bright start as Ousmane Dembele saw a penalty saved even before Vitinha's eighth-minute opener. But PSG were rocked by an injury to star winger Kvaratskhelia, who stayed down after his ankle became awkwardly tangled as he fouled Anthony Elanga. Kvaratskhelia, who assisted Vitinha's goal, had to be helped off the pitch, and PSG seemed to suffer from that setback as Newcastle gained a foothold and then a point through Joe Willock's equaliser."
"We've lost another important player to injury; we'll have to see the tests on Thursday. It's his ankle, and it's complicated."

PSG drew 1-1 with Newcastle, a result that relegates Paris Saint-Germain to the Champions League play-off round. Vitinha opened the scoring in the eighth minute after Ousmane Dembele had a penalty saved, but Joe Willock equalised for Newcastle. Star winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia assisted the goal but then suffered an awkward ankle injury while fouling Anthony Elanga and had to be helped off. Coach Luis Enrique described the ankle issue as complicated and awaited tests. Fabian Ruiz remained absent, and PSG will face Qarabag FK or AS Monaco in the upcoming play-offs.
