In the UEFA Champions League Group F match at the Parc des Princes, Paris Saint-Germain salvaged a 1-1 draw and denied Newcastle United a historic victory thanks to a contentious penalty kick scored by the star Kylian Mbappe deep into stoppage time. A VAR intervention resulted in an unjustly given spot kick for a hand ball against Tino Lavramento, which allowed the Ligue 1 champions to tie the score in the 98th minute. The Magpies appeared to be on the verge of a victory that would have put their destiny in their own hands.
Luis Enrique's team got out to a fast start, with Mbappe and Fabian Ruiz both coming close to winning, as they looked to exact revenge for their 4-1 loss at St. James' Park earlier in the season.
