"Newcastle United have experienced all manner of emotions at the Parc des Princes. It was here, just a couple of years ago, that Eddie Howe's side were denied a famous win against Paris St-Germain after the hosts were awarded a controversial penalty in stoppage time. That 1-1 draw left a bitter taste, as a result, but there was a very different feeling in the away dressing room on Wednesday night following the same result."
""We wanted to win tonight," the Newcastle head coach said. "We didn't want the extra games, but we will take it. "We will go down that route and we are going down that route in the best possible way with a strong performance against the holders of the competition. "If there's ever a game to look to to give us confidence, it's this one.""
Newcastle United produced a determined 1-1 draw at the Parc des Princes, overturning an early setback to hold Paris Saint-Germain. PSG were awarded a controversial early penalty after a VAR review for the ball striking Lewis Miley's hand following a bounce off Bradley Barcola's arm, but Nick Pope saved Ousmane Dembele's spot-kick. The result contrasted with a similar 2023 draw at the same stadium. The point did not secure automatic qualification, but Newcastle remain well placed to progress through play-offs against Monaco or Qarabag. The performance provided a confidence boost and vocal support from travelling fans.
