"The Magpies travelled to the Parc des Princes knowing an upset win would be enough to secure a place in the top eight of the league phase table and automatic progression to the last 16. Despite Nick Pope saving an early Ousmane Dembele penalty, it looked as if that would be a tall order for a much-changed Newcastle when Vitinha fired PSG into an eighth-minute lead."
"But Newcastle's response to going behind was magnificent and, after Joe Willock headed them level in first-half stoppage time, it wqas Eddie Howe's team who had the better of the chances to claim all three points. Despite arguably their best away performance of the season, Newcastle must now play two extra games to get through to the last 16, a fate that also awaits PSG."
Newcastle United held Paris Saint-Germain to a 1-1 draw at the Parc des Princes, a result that sent both clubs into the Champions League playoff round. PSG took an eighth-minute lead through Vitinha after an early Ousmane Dembele penalty was saved by Nick Pope. Newcastle responded strongly, and Joe Willock headed them level in first-half stoppage time. Eddie Howe's much-changed side created the better chances thereafter and produced one of their best away displays of the season. Despite that performance, both Newcastle and PSG must now navigate two extra playoff games to reach the last 16.
