Mbappe mocked for his outrageous bicycle attempt by Alejandro Garnacho Jibe / Isak &Livramento individual brilliance wasn't enough to secure the Magpies an early Round of 16 Qualification.

Newcastle was denied an incredible win over Paris Saint-Germain by a late penalty kick from Kylian Mbappe. The visitors still have a chance to go to the Champions League knockout rounds despite the 1-1 draw.

Aleksander Isak opened the scoring for Newcastle in the first half, capitalizing on Miguel Almiron's effort that was pushed into his path. , the Magpies mounted a heroic defense, with Nick Pope stopping Bradley Barcola and then Mbappe with a superb save at close range. Mbappe then missed the mark with the rebound.

9/10 Newcastle star outshone Livramento & Isak against PSG -In the 1-1 draw away at PSG, this "outstanding" midfielder was Newcastle United's true hero, surpassing even Alexander Isak on his comeback.

When Szymon Marciniak's pointed arm awarded the home team a contentious penalty in the eighth minute of stoppage time, Newcastle United was just minutes away from completing the double over French champions Paris Saint-Germain at the Parc Des Princes.

Tino Livramento, who had been playing brilliantly all night, was treated harshly when his outstretched arm touched the ball. The Magpies are now obliged to rely on winning all three points at home to AC Milan in a fortnight on the last day of the group stage, while hoping that Borussia Dortmund can upset PSG. Who else than Kylian Mbappe scored the penalty, breaking their hearts?

Kylian Mbappe was the victim of a cheeky jibe on commentary after botching a bicycle kick as Paris Saint-Germain chased an equalizer in their Champions League clash against Newcastle United. PSG's headline star failed with his acrobatic effort, which drew comparisons to Alejandro Garnacho's stunner days earlier.

Newcastle United's game in numbers.

Although the fans of Newcastle might not be too excited about this, considering the balance of play, a draw was a good outcome.

To be honest, it wouldn't have been a heist if PSG had won. Les Parisiens had a 72% ball possession rate throughout the match compared to the Magpies' 28%, but the anticipated goals (xG) disparity is much more concerning. With 31 shots on goal that evening, the home team had an xG of 4.47, while Newcastle only had 1.48 from five efforts at goal.

Furthermore, according to FotMob, Isak's goal inside the six-yard box alone had an xG of 0.71, but the other four goals—three of which came from beyond the penalty area—had a combined xG of only 0.77.
