Are Newcastle still crying about it. Its tough to win games with competent refs, right?

Robbery? Despite having VAR? Damn.

Would have loved to see P$G in Europa league where there is real competition.

31 shots to 5

Yes, NC were robbed......

I think Newcastle should respect and accept the refs decision, regardless of how awful it was.

Otherwise maybe they should pipe down about Arsenal.

Disgusting pen. Disgrace

while i did think that PSG would eventually score i wasn't expecting it to happen that way. that call was inexcusable, i would say almost corrupt.

I would have took a draw if any of the dozens of gilt edge chances PSG had went in, but this bizarre pen is a shit way to end the game.

lost vs one of the farmers league club. Not enough money in english league maybe to buy the best players in the world? What a shame. I wouldn't want to be in your shoes.

What were non English broadcasts saying about the call?

50/50 call, coulda went either way. Think psg deserved a pk earlier as well. Think Newcastle got away with it

Hate when people look at games where one side is held scoreless like that and think the other team defended well, Newcastle gave up chance after chance and wasted countless opportunities to hold on to possession or fully clear the ball. Woeful defending but still robbed as PSG were as clinical as a team of Antonys up front

Great game by mbappe could’ve had 2-3 assists

All I have to say and I think I can speak for all French NT fans, Kingsley Coman please stay healthy until the euros fam don’t leave us with Dembele on that right wing

Look at Howe's reaction compared to Arteta's lol

Absolute disgrace of a result. Newcastle were robbed blind with that penalty.

I know that this sub has a huge anti PSG bias (even when it's another oil club on the other side). So yes, PSG can be considered very tough. I agree with that. But for me there was a penalty on Hakimi and PSG and a handball by Newcastle earlier which was surely more of a penalty than the latter decision.

However, PSG were cursed in this match, on a "normal" evening PSG should put 4 in the second half. Newcastle never got past the midfield again from the second half onwards. And they can thank Donnaruma for giving them a ridiculous goal.

In short, Newcastle are a good team with heart, but for me PSG were clearly the better team tonight and a draw is the minimum.

In any case, this group is still wide open. Newcastle, Milan and PSG can still qualify. PSG can finish first or third. It's wide open.

A bit tiring to see the same comment over and over : intent does not matter, hitting another part of the body does not matter : read rule 12 it's easy to find (I just did because I thought the other body part was in the rule as well : it's not it's just a PL thing).

I do agree it's harsh but the first handball earlier in the 2nd half should definitely have been given so in my biased opinion, it evens out.

Last thing, if I ever want someone to take this penalty, it's Kylian. The lad just seems unfazed while 40k people are shitting themselves in the stands.

PSG should’ve lost . They played like shit. Specifically that Barcola guy

I’ll accept the technicality, it’s harsh as fuck but thems the rules I guess.

Super proud of the effort put in by a threadbare squad. The club has come so far in just a couple of years. Moments like this are just fuel for the future. Howay!

Harsh pen but that goal was coming for about 40 minutes. Can't just sit back and boot the ball away with no desire to keep possession.

HOW do you get 31 shots and a 4.5XG and your only goal is a rigged penalty?? Didn’t watch the game but can someone tell me who was struggling to finish lol

4,38 to 1,40 xG btw

If you don't like PSG, remember that they'll get robbed in the last eight or quarter-finals against Barcelona, Real, United or whoever. For every favorable decision granted to PSG, 5 are given to their opponents.

Feel gutted for Newcastle this would’ve been their biggest night since ‘69. Def were weaker in the second half, but that was not a pen

Oh no! Anyway...

Decent result. Galling conclusion. No idea if the pun was intended

All the talk will (rightfully) be about the penalty but can we have some appreciation for Lewis Miley. Looks a very interesting prospect to say the least. Nothing out of this world on the ball, he does the simple stuff right (which is no slight on him btw) but off the ball his reading of the game and football iq is insane for a 17 year old

GET FUCKED NEWCASTLE HAHAHAAAA

Horrible call indeed. That was totally unintentional. I can only guess the referees discussed that the "arm was extended away from the body" but that is certainly not an "unnatural position". So I don't get what the rule even is anymore.

The handball rule is shit but unfortunately that's the right call. Ref has to give it you can't blame him or VAR for following the IFAB guidelines. Very similar to Napoli penalty against Real Madrid in matchday 2.
