In the second match of Group F of the Champions League, which concluded this morning (October 5), Newcastle defeated PSG with a dominant 4-1 victory.

When Miguel Almiron, Dan Burn, Sean Longstaff, and Fabian Schaer scored respectively, Newcastle had a memorable performance in the Champions League after 20 years. This caused the French champions to suffer their heaviest loss in the group stage of the Champions League since then, since owners from Qatar took over in 2011.

At St. James’s Park, even the presence of Kylian Mbappe was not enough to prevent Paris Saint-Germain from suffering a crushing defeat. The team from France pulled within one point with a goal scored by Lucas Hernandez, bringing the score to 1-4. “PSG is a good team, we have to defend very solidly, and the spirit of the whole team today is great,” Newcastle’s head coach Eddie Howe said in an interview with a television station that focuses on sports.

As a result of this victory, Newcastle now has 4 points from the initial 2 matches of Group F, which is 1 point more than PSG. Meanwhile, Borussia Dortmund and AC Milan also won their first points in a 0-0 stalemate in Germany.

The acquisition of Newcastle United by Saudi Arabian investors two years ago completely transformed the club’s fortunes. PSG has emerged as the preeminent force in French football over the course of the last ten years thanks in large part to the influx of money from the Middle East.

Even though they were the fourth seed in their group, Luis Enrique, the new head coach of PSG, cautioned his players before the game that Newcastle was a formidable opponent that no one wanted to face. Mr. Enrique continued to brazenly use his wares despite the fact that he was acutely aware of the danger posed by Newcastle.

Kylian Mbappe, Ousmane Dembele, Goncalo Ramos, and Randal Kolo Muani are among the offensive four stars. They were forced to pay the price as the defense became sloppy, failed to provide adequate protection, and swiftly collapsed in front of 52,000 supporters of Newcastle.

PSG has not yet triumphed across Europe, and this serves as a stark reminder of how far they must yet travel before they can be considered a serious contender for the championship. In addition, Paris Saint-Germain is off to the worst possible start in Ligue 1 for the Qatari ownership era of the club’s history. PSG has only won four of the first nine matches that Luis Enrique has coached them through thus far.

Ferran Torres scored the game-winning goal for Barcelona in their 1-0 victory over Porto, which was the 100th match that Xavi Hernandez has led Barcelona to victory in his role as head coach.Following their 3-1 victory against Leipzig in Group G play, defending champion Manchester City is in excellent position to advance to the round of 16. Three different players, Phil Foden, Julian Alvarez, and Jeremy Doku, scored for the English champions. Atletico Madrid earned a 3-2 victory over Feyenoord in Group E action thanks to a brace apiece from Alvaro Morata and Antoine Griezman.
