San Germain 1, Newcastle United 1 here at the Parc des Princes this evening.
00:05
Being kicked out the stadium but you can still tell why I'm hopefully.
00:09
Sapping results for Newcastle United, really, really disappointing
00:13
considering the level of defensive performance Newcastle put in.
00:18
The valiant backs to the wall, digging in deep.
00:22
When they were just up against it with a depleted squad,
00:25
Eddie Howe didn't even have the luxury to make any substitutions tonight as such.
00:29
He didn't make any but there was nothing really on the bench to help him change the game.
00:34
But Alex Anders had gave Newcastle a lead, great work from Tino Livramento.
00:38
Miguel Almiron who's shot is spilled and this I can't miss.
00:42
First Champions League goal for Newcastle in over 20 years.
00:45
It's nice to, the travelling Newcastle fans have had something to celebrate on the road this season.
00:51
And yeah, from that point on I thought Newcastle were good value for the 1-0 lead at half-time.
00:57
Second half was a different story, PSG really threw the kitchen sink at them.
01:02
And really, just as the noise blares around me, were really, really pushing for that equaliser.
01:08
Nick Pope had a great game, made a lot of excellent saves to keep Newcastle leading 1-0.
01:14
That narrow lead intact. Some big misses from PSG as well.
01:18
It was a bit like the Milan game in terms of the way the home side created chances.
01:23
Just turned up to 11 and obviously Newcastle with a lead to protect.
01:27
And just when you think it's going to be Newcastle's day, they played so well to Milan.
01:31
Hard to fault anyone really. Tino Livramento, excellent on the night, as I say, played a key role in the goal.
01:38
Gets penalised, Ousmane Dembele's cross, hits off Tino Livramento's chest, then skims his elbow.
01:47
And following a VAR check in PSG protests, as more noise goes on, penalty's awarded.
01:57
And Kylian Mbappe makes no mistake from 12 yards, 98th minute, 1-1.
02:03
And it just feels like Newcastle was a draw from the jaws of victory, if you like.
02:11
I find Newcastle's chances of progressing in the Champions League group just took a significant dent.
02:17
They would have been in control heading into that AC Milan game next month had they got the win here at PSG tonight.
02:23
It would have been equal or better PSG's result in the final game in order to progress.
02:34
But instead, they'd go into the AC Milan game needing to win and needing PSG not to win at Borussia Dortmund.
02:41
So yeah, not really in their hands, but a win would certainly put them in a favourable position if they do that against AC Milan.
02:49
And it would also at least guarantee Europa League football, or their remaining Europe, heading into 2024.
02:55
So yeah, great performance from Newcastle under the circumstances, just really disappointing and frustrating with the result at the end.
03:04
And speaking to Eddie Howe afterwards, he could have frustrated Figa, held his tongue with a bit of class to be honest.
03:11
He made it clear he really didn't agree with the decision, but didn't blame the referees.
03:18
He said the referee had a good game, it was just really quite hard to take the circumstances of the draw tonight.
03:24
But yeah, Newcastle have saved the best performances in the Champions League for PSG really,
03:29
if you go back to that 4-1 win at St James' Park last month.
03:33
Other than that, it hasn't really clicked, but yeah, what a performance tonight.
03:38
Just so unlucky for the Newcastle players that they're not coming home celebrating what would have been a really historic win.
03:45
But you can catch all the reaction, all the reflection over on the Shields Gazette website from myself, Dom Skur,
03:51
as well as the player ratings and Newcastle United player reaction.
03:56
And of course, Eddie Howe as well to come.
03:58
So head over to shieldsgazette.com for more on that. Thanks.
