PSG's Controversial Penalty Sparks Outrage as Newcastle is Denied Victory

Newcastle United missed out on a vital three points in the Champions League on Tuesday night, settling for a 1-1 draw with Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League due to a contentious 98th-minute penalty by Kylian Mbappe.

Although PSG started the match stronger, it was Alexander Isak who made the initial impression, scoring first thanks to fine play from Lewis Miley and Tino Livramento. The crucial strike came from the Swedish forward who successfully scored from close distance.

The goal was a result of Miley's significant deep run that created space, followed by a Messi-like sprint from Livramento. Isak delivered as expected. This significant goal came as a big surprise, and the team had to maintain focus and physical levels.

Tino Livramento was another key player. Fearless and displaying both a good touch and decision-making skills, he showed promise. He made a great run across the edge of the PSG area contributing to Isak's goal.

However, Isak's goal was further aided by a mistake from PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, who redirected Miguel Almiron's weak attempt onto his path. This was a substantial error on the part of the 24-year-old goalkeeper.

Newcastle's young players - 21-year-old Livramento and 17-year-old Lewis Miley - were greatly commended. The latter was making his first Champions League start and took the opportunity in his stride.

Newcastle's performance was bolstered by some outstanding saves from goalkeeper Nick Pope. His spectacular save from Bradley Barcola, just six yards out in the second half, kept the team in the game.

However, a disputed late penalty deprived Newcastle of their much-needed three points. The ball hit Livramento's arm but had bounced off his chest first, resulting in an extremely tough decision. Mbappe successfully scored from the spot.

Newcastle United's supporters were devastated by the decision. However, they were incredibly proud of their team's performance, and their Champions League future remains something they can control.
