Paris Saint-Germain has been humiliated by Newcastle, by an aggregate score of 4-1. It is the first time that the French team falls by such a large score in the group stage of the UEFA Champions League, and after the debacle, unprecedented images have now emerged of Kylian Mbappé’s reaction to the beating by Newcastle.

This match, on top of the loss, marked an incredible stat as well. Conceding more than 3 goals in a UEFA Champions League group stage match was an unusual occurrence for the French club, which had not experienced such a situation in 5 years. The last time this happened was in the defeat against Liverpool in September 2018, a result that continues to resonate in fans’ memories.
This setback was not only a blow for PSG, but also generated reflections on recent decisions by some of its prominent players. Ousmane Dembélé, who opted to leave FC Barcelona to join the French club in search of financial rewards, found himself on the losing side in this exciting encounter. Once again, football reminds us that decisions in the world of sport can have unexpected turns.
Nothing defined just yet
Paris Saint-Germain disappointed today, however, they are still not doing too badly in Group F of the UEFA Champions League. The group is one of the toughest that has been seen in the history of the competition, because, of the four teams, all four are very strong. Newcastle is in first place with 4 points, Paris Saint-Germain is in second place with 3 points. AC Milan is third with 2 points after two draws, while Borussia Dortmund has zero points and is in last place in the group.
