Doué replaces Kvara, first blow for PSG
Visibly badly injured in the ankle, Kvara was forced to leave the pitch helped by two trainers. Désiré Doué replaces him immediately.
Elanga takes a yellow, concern for Kvara
Very late on Kvaratskhelia, Elanga clumsily hurts his ankle! Yellow card and the Georgian will surely give way to Doué, who left for the warm-up.
Paris rises to 3rd place
Thanks to the first results, PSG moved up to third place in the standings behind Bayern and Arsenal. Real, Liverpool and City have the same number of points as Paris (16 pts).
Superb defensive move from Vitinha
We thought that Newcastle were going to go on the counter with a through ball towards Murphy but Vitinha, very well placed, cuts off the action immediately.
Kvara hits his first shot of the match!
PSG are far too strong for Newcastle in these first minutes with another sublime shot feint from Vitinha which knocks Kvara away! The Georgian’s left shot is too crushed.
ANOTHER HUGE OPPORTUNITY FOR DEMBELE!
Dembélé, in front of the area, calls on Zaire-Emery in the area and the young midfielder gives him back at the right tempo! From a tight angle, Dembélé rolls in a shot deflected by Pope!
Paris puts enormous pressure
Corner for PSG who decided to put a lot of pressure in the Magpies area. All the second balloons are Parisians!
VITINHAAAAAA OPENS THE SCORE FOR PSG!
Paris is already taking the lead thanks to Vitinha! Magnificent Parisian counterattack with Dembélé who shifts Kvara. The Georgian takes advantage of Hakimi’s call to serve Vitinha back. The Portuguese fakes the shot before putting the ball into Pope’s little net, 1-0 for PSG!
Nuno Mendes shows his speed
Already a big ball catch from Nuno Mendes who turns around and overtakes Willock before giving it to Neves.
DEMBELE MISSES HIS PENALTY!
It’s Dembélé who will take the penalty to put PSG into orbit… The 2025 Ballon d’Or rushes against Nick Pope who stops the ball!
PENALTY FOR PSG!
Big decision to make for the referee after two minutes and he checks the screen for a long time… PENALTY AWARDED!
ALREADY A DISPUTE SITUATION ON THE SURFACE!
Barcola’s first foray into the area and at the cost of a favorable counterattack, the ball arrives on Miley’s arm!
Video refereeing and the referee will even check the video himself…

The PSG group without Fabian Ruiz, but with great returns like Hakimi and Joao Neves
Absent on Friday during a narrow victory at Auxerre (0-1), Fabian Ruiz is again out for the clash against Newcastle, this Wednesday (9 p.m.). He is not in the group of 20 players selected by Luis Enrique. However, several major comebacks have been recorded, such as those of Joao Neves, Achraf Hakimi, Nuno Mendes and Matvey Safonov.
