On November 29, Beijing time, the fifth round of the Champions League group stage ushered in a key matchup, and the leader of Group F Ligue 1, Paris Saint-Germain, hosted the English Premier League team Newcastle United, and then we will take a look at the wonderful performances of the players on both sides.
Paris starting line-up: Donnarumma, Achraf, Skriniar, Pereira, Lucas, Ruiz, Ugarte, Lee Gang-in, Dembele, Muani, Mbappe.
Newcastle starting line-up: Pope, Livramento, Fabian, Ruscelles, Kieran Trippier, Joelinton, Guimaraes, Milley, Anthony Gordon, Isak, Almiron.
Newcastle, who started the game, created danger one after another, Almiron broke the ball and crossed to Isak in front of the goal, and in the 24th minute, Almiron's long-range shot from the edge of the box was saved by Donnarumma, but the follow-up Isak scored a follow-up goal to break the deadlock.
The backward big Paris scene has the advantage, Dembele's low shot is saved, Ruiz's shots in turn are all defused, the team's offensive is fierce but can not be converted into goals, their tactical cooperation is difficult to achieve, more rely on individual ability, but there is no way to break the game if the state is not good, and it is still 1 goal behind at halftime.
Back in the second half, Paris continued to press, Dembele and Barcola were saved in succession, in the 68th minute Achraf fell to the ground in the penalty area, VAR intervened and ruled that there was no foul, and then in the 72nd minute, he complained about the handball in the Milley penalty area, and the referee did not say anything.
At the end of the period, Mbappe slid through the penalty area twice, Balcola kicked the goal again from close range, seeing that the time was about to end, but he did not expect that after VAR intervention in the 98th minute of stoppage time, the referee watched the video replay and ruled that Livramento was fouled for handball, and Mbappe scored a penalty to complete the equalizer, and Paris Saint-Germain drew 1-1 with Newcastle United at full-time.
In Group F, Paris is in second place in the group with 7 points from 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses, and Newcastle is in 3rd place with 5 points from 1 win, 2 draws and 2 losses. Because Dortmund won this round and advanced early, Paris, Newcastle and Milan competed for the last place in this group in the final round.
