Paris Saint-Germain scored with their thirtieth shot of the sport and a variety of these have been clear alternatives so Newcastle may properly have been punished sooner than they have been. But it surely was the style of the equaliser, a present from the officers, that can so grate.
Mbappe didn’t breach the Newcastle again line with a little bit of brilliance. He was handed the ball and in a position to convert from the penalty spot not due to a Newcastle error both. Only a desperately merciless penalty name that required a VAR evaluate to make it occur.
