After 20 years without seeing the Champions League at St. James’ Park, Newcastle United with Saudi money made a big appearance this Wednesday in Europe with a rout once morest Paris Saint Germain (4-1), which once once more disappoints in a great night in the Old Continent. And curiously, in this Newcastle sponsored by Saudi Arabia, two of the three goals were scored by local men, Dan Burn and Sean Longstaff, – ‘Geordies’ as the inhabitants of the region are known -, and helped by Miguel Almirón which opened the scoring and the way for the ‘Magpies’ first European victory in three years.
It was an exhibition by Newcastle, who left a lot to be desired once morest Milan on the first day, on a night that Nick Pope saved, but they improved a lot supported by their stadium and once morest a PSG that continues to be unable to motivate itself in these games.
Luis Enrique’s men also started with a shot in the foot. After Dembelé hit a volley that grazed the post and scared the ‘Magpies’, Marquinhos was in charge of clearing the tension at St. James’ Park with an error unbecoming of a player of his experience.
He tried to get the ball between several players and didn’t give it enough height. He caught the mistake by Brumo Guimaraes, who left it to Isak at the penalty spot for the Swede’s volley to be taken at point-blank range by Donnaruma. The rebound fell to Almirón and he slotted it perfectly into the corner.
The Newcastle temple roared, delighted with this new vitaminized version of a team that not so long ago was fighting to avoid relegation, and the 2-0 was touched by Fabian Schar with a rehearsed play that allowed him to shoot at will from inside the area.
The Parisians, who greatly missed a missing Kylian Mbappé, were saved, but only once. In a bizarre play, Donnaruma saved a low shot from Guimaraes without an angle, but the French defense did not clear the ball. Tonali returned it to the Brazilian and this time he chose to raise his head and look for the far post. There he entered like a Burn walk to make it 2-0. The referee annulled it, due to offside by Guimaraes, but the VAR confirmed it following a tense wait.
The PSG players began to break out in cold sweat and the fuss began in Luis Enrique, who might not correct the situation and saw how Longstaff entered his lane alone and with a low whip made it 3-0. It was another European catastrophe for PSG, which He only smiled slightly when Zaire-Emery, the 17-year-old boy who excites this team, invented a chipped pass over the Newcastle defense and catalyzed Lucas Hernández’s goal of honor.
It was not enough to push towards a possible tie and Newcastle, who scored the fourth in stoppage time with a great goal from Schar into the top corner, remain undefeated following two games in Europe, with four points and leaders of this Group F. They are followed by PSG, with three units, Milan, with two, and Borussia Dortmund, with one.
