Champions League Update: Barcelona Defeats FC Porto 2-1, Predictions for December 13 Final and PSG’s Fate Uncertain

2023-11-28 22:01:00

Barcelona defeated FC Porto 2-1 (1-1) and cannot be intercepted by either the Portuguese or Shakhtar Donetsk with one match day remaining. The final between these two will take place on December 13th in Porto for the second ticket to the knockout phase. Schachtar had previously positioned itself thanks to a 1-0 (1-0) win once morest Royal Antwerp in the “home game” in Hamburg.

Meanwhile, former Dortmund player Ciro Immobile led the Italian top club Rome with a brace to a late 2-0 (0-0) win once morest Celtic Glasgow and thus into the round of 16.

After the goals conceded by Immobile (82nd, 85th), Celtic also lost their last chance of overwintering in the European Cup. Atletico also secured their ticket to the knockout rounds with a 3-1 (1-0) win at Feyenoord Rotterdam.

PSG’s fate will be decided in Dortmund

The Parisian star ensemble ran behind once morest Newcastle until Alexander Isak conceded a goal (24′) until deep into stoppage time. Mbappé finally converted a controversial hand penalty – the ball had jumped from defender Valentino Livramento’s chest to his hand – and ensured a significantly better starting position for PSG.

The French now have progress in the final group game in Dortmund in their own hands.

Swiss champions Young Boys Bern won the third-place final once morest Red Star Belgrade in RB Leipzig’s Group G. With the 2-0 (2-0) win once morest the Serbs, Bern will be “relegated” to the Europa League.

In Hamburg, the home venue of the war-torn Ukrainians, Mykola Matwijenko (12th) scored the decisive goal for Donetsk early on. The guests, trained by former Bayern professional Mark van Bommel, suffered their fifth defeat in their fifth game.

PSG vs. Newcastle United: Champions League NOW in the live ticker – 1:1

90.+8. Paris comes to a conclusion, but Barcola chases the ball over the goal. And then it’s over. Szymon Marciniak blows the whistle. Paris escapes to a draw once morest a strong Magpies.

90.+8. Tooor! PARIS ST. GERMAIN – Newcastle United 1-1. Mbappe steps up and shoots half high and pretty much in the middle. Pope is down too quickly and can no longer parry the unplaced shot. Paris still manages to equalize.

90.+8. There is a penalty. Marciniak allows himself to be persuaded and points to the point.

90.+6. Now Marciniak is called to the VAR screen. Did Livramento intentionally play a hand in the penalty area or prevent a chance? He certainly touches the ball with his elbow, but to accuse him of preventing a scoring opportunity would be overkill.

90.+5. Ramos picks up a yellow card for causing massive trouble to Marciniak. He called for a hand penalty.

90.+5. Newcastle can no longer get the ball out of their own half. But Paris is on the same line with its six offensive players, can’t get deep and can’t create any more chances.

90.+2. Of course, Pope also gets a yellow card for massive time play.

90.+2. Yellow card Nicholas David Pope

90.+1. Cross to Mbappe, who doesn’t reach the ball, but Barcola does and the youngster volleys into the air from close range instead of into the goal. That just has to be the goal.

90.+1. Eight minutes are replayed. To be honest, that’s a bit much.

89. Nowadays, of course, everything takes place in the Newcastle half. But the eleven players continue to withstand the pressure. Impressive team performance. And then Asensio hits it from 25 meters. Ten meters beyond the box. Again valuable time for the Magpies.

88. Barcola is offside during an attack. That shouldn’t happen to him in this situation. Lots of time for Newcastle.

87. Mbappe first shoots at Pope, then hits the follow-up shot past the goal to the left. For the first time, Schär didn’t look good when he was easily blocked by Mbappe. It went well once more.

83. Almiron gets yellow for timed games.

87. Gelbe Karte Miguel Ángel Almirón Rejala

85. Everything on one card: Pereira goes out for Goncalo Ramos.

85. Auswechslung Danilo Luís Hélio Pereira Gonçalo Matias Ramos

84. Lascelles prevents Mbappe’s leg shot, plays the ball out and draws the foul once morest Lucas Hernandez. The central defender sometimes earns the top grade.

82. Marco Asensio is brought into play for Lee. Now seems to be a 4-4-2 system for the final minutes.

82. Substitution Kang-In Lee Marco Asensio Willemsen

82. Flat cross into the box, Dembele hits the ball from close range next to the left post. Pope would probably have been beaten.

79. Dembele passes it back to Hakimi, who chases the ball into the Parisian night sky.

78. You can tell the guests are losing their strength. But Paris is still unable to consistently create a goal threat. Time is running out for them. Who else has the brilliant idea?

74. At least it is now obvious that Paris has clearly increased the number of hits. Newcastle now have to defend with everything they have. The pressure is getting higher and higher. They still have to survive for around 20 minutes.

72. Donnarumma complains loudly regarding a supposed hand penalty that is not whistled. Marciniak notices this and pulls out a yellow card.

69. Marciniak interrupts the game briefly; everyone thinks that he is regarding to go to the video monitor because of an alleged penalty for Paris. But following a few moments the decision is already made: Gordon doesn’t hit the ball in a duel with Hakimi, but he also doesn’t hit the full-back’s foot, which falls too easily. No penalty is the right decision.

68. Again the new man, once more staged by Mbappe, but his nerves fail him in front of the goal. Pope is not in a good position, but Barcola puts the ball from the left to the left side net. He would have preferred to aim for the far corner.

66. Barcola is on the verge of equalizing, but somehow Pope gets his fingertips to it and directs the ball past the goal. That might have been the equalizer.

64. Mbappe moves from the left into the center of the attack. Bradley goes to the left side, along with Vitinha. When does the PSG offensive start to fire?

64. Dortmund leads once more. Not good news for Paris.

62. Weak performance from Kolo Muani, who is substituted for Bradley Barcola.

62. It’s the end of the day for Ugarte. Vitinha comes into play.

61. Trippier’s free kick is deflected into a corner that yields nothing. Meanwhile, PSG’s first players are getting ready on the sidelines.

60. Skriniar has to intervene in dire need and get Gordon off his feet just before the penalty area. But he sees yellow and can live with it.

58. The nerves are slowly fraying. Dembele loses the running duel once morest Livramento, who cleverly accepts the foul. This frustrates the offensive star so much that he sometimes chases the ball into the stands. And for that he sees yellow, which means he will be suspended for the duel once morest Borussia Dortmund.

56. There was the possibility. Nice pass to Dembele, who fails because of Pope. The ball flies to Mbappe, who tries the side kick. He doesn’t hit him at all. The ball comes to Ruiz via a detour, but his pass into the middle fails due to Schär.

54. Next loss of the ball by Lee, who then prevents Joelinton from counterattacking and pulls his jersey. The Brazilian gratefully accepts and Marciniak shows the South Korean yellow.

53. Where is the breast remover? Paris cannot cope with the English team’s defensive unity at all, so from Paris’ point of view things cannot and must not continue. Unless Mbappe or another exceptional player has a shining moment.

50. The 1-1 draw in Milan also means that a lot is happening in the situation in Group F before the last matchday. Newcastle would be ahead of Paris, Milan would be last, but might still reach the knockout stages like all the other teams. Exciting.

48. As soon as the game continues, Isak has the next shot opportunity, but in the duel with Pereira he dribbles and then backheels, but none of his teammates are standing there. Direct closure would have been the better solution.

46. ​​We continue in the Prinzenpark. In fact, without any personnel changes at PSG.

PSG vs. Newcastle United: Champions League NOW in the live ticker – kick-off 2nd half

Half time This is anything but what Paris can afford here. They started the first half strongly, but with this chance the tide turned. Newcastle no longer allowed themselves to be pushed back and suddenly had more of the game and thus really surprised the top team. On top of that, Donnarumma makes a mistake once more. Isak was and is the beneficiary. Now the Enrique team has to stretch.

PSG vs. Newcastle United: Champions League NOW in the live ticker – half-time break

45.+1. Break in Paris. That’s what we call a surprise. Newcastle leads to halftime tea.

45. Even from a distance it doesn’t work. Guimaeres blocks Ugarte’s long-range shot for a corner. Newcastle can clear it, but at the feet of Fabian, who quickly tries from 20 meters. But he also shoots right into the arms of Pope, who is in a good mood.

43. A little bit of space for PSG because Newcastle’s pressing is played around. Lee drives the leather forward, but slows down the pace, then takes Dembele with him on the right side. And he crosses into Pope’s arms.

40. With a lot of legwork, commitment and passion, Newcastle, which is so struggling in terms of personnel, has so far been able to outdo all of PSG’s high-class technicians. A player from the guests is constantly on the feet of the PSG stars.

36. Yellow card Manuel Ugarte Ribeiro

30. Nice combination from the home team via Hakimi, Dembele and Kolo Muani, who wants to backheel to Dembele in the penalty area. The ball goes a little too far, but Lee easily gets to the ball. However, his attempt to score is directly blocked.

27. This means that Newcastle would currently be in second place, Paris would only be third and would no longer have anything in their own hands. The horror scenario for PSG – this is what it currently boils down to.

PSG vs. Newcastle United: Champions League NOW in the live ticker – Goal Newcastle

24. Tooor! Paris St. Germain – NEWCASTLE UNITED 0:1. Donnarumma with the next mistake, the thing is on him. Livramento is allowed to dribble through half the Paris team on the edge of the penalty area and pass to Almiron on the right. He fakes it briefly and shoots at the far corner. The ball flies tricky, but a goalkeeper of his class has to clear the ball better than he does – namely forward. Isak stands there perfectly for the duster and pushes the ball into the net.

22. Joelinton unfairly knocks Hernandez off his feet in the running duel. Because of the attacking situation, you also get a yellow card.

22. Mbappe’s chance in the ninth minute is PSG’s last chance to score so far. Too little. The fans also notice this, the first whistles can be heard in the Prinzenpark.

19. That’s why the pace of build-up play for Enrique’s team isn’t really that high. Eddie Howe demands a lot from his team, following all they always resort to counter-pressing. And that with this thinned-out squad.

16. In the initial phase, the guests did it quite well, accepted the duels early, showed themselves to be self-confident and, above all, caused problems for the home team’s high-caliber midfield, who were hardly able to put Mbappe, Kolo Muani and Dembele in the spotlight.

12. Donnarumma with a serious mistake in which he puts Hakimi in trouble with a pass. Almiron grabs the ball from Hakimi, runs into the penalty area on the left and passes it to Isak, who is free in the box but shoots the ball over the box. The Italian keeper would have been powerless. Lucky for Paris.

11. Since Borussia Dortmund have just taken the lead in Milan, Newcastle are now in 3rd place in the live table. As long as it’s still a draw here.

9. Here we have the first big chance for PSG: Hakimi and Dembele drive the ball on the right. The Moroccan runs into the penalty area and lays it flat to Mbappe. His backheel trick in front of Pope is well timed, but the keeper stops and blocks the shot on goal with one foot.

7. Newcastle with the ball in midfield and a first tentative counterattack attempt. At the end of the chain, Joelinton backheels into Almiron’s path, but he doesn’t reach the ball before it rolls out of the goal.

4. Dembele’s tempo dribble down the right, drawing two players towards him, but still being able to cross to Lee at the second post. The South Korean hits an arc lamp on the volley that lands on Ruiz. His volley is a lot better, but flies over the goal.

2. The first attacks on the Newcastle goal began following just a few moments. The English seem to operate in a 4-5-1 system once morest the ball, especially the center is compacted.

1. Things don’t start quite on time in the Prinzenpark. The hosts have just toasted.

before the start The eleven positions themselves. One of the reasons for this is the high number of injuries in the Magpies team. With Longstaff, Burn, Botman, Barnes, Targett, Wilson and Tonali, who was suspended for months, half of the regular team is missing. As a result, Newcastle will be playing in Paris with just five substitutes, including two youth players, Ndiweni and Parkinson. If you go through the list of missing players, we come to a whopping twelve players! That’s why 17-year-old Lewis Miley, who played a strong game in the 4-1 win once morest Chelsea at the weekend, also plays.

before the start The teams are ready and step onto the pitch. After the Champions League anthem and the side selection, things get going.

before the start The kick-off is imminent in the Prinzenpark. But of course we also keep an eye on the parallel game. Dortmund plays once morest AC Milan. This result will also have a major impact on the final matchday in December. Everything will most likely be finally decided there. Or not. Incidentally, the referee is the top Polish referee Szymon Marciniak.

Before the start For the French, progress is of course an absolute must. Anything other than reaching the knockout rounds in the premier class would be a huge disappointment, to put it bluntly. The club is in form, but currently cannot win away from home in the Champions League this season (1:4 in Newcastle, 1:2 in Milan). Luckily for the fans, today is home game day.

before the start But the first leg alone has shown that Paris may be favorites on paper, but will they do justice to this role? The 4-1 win at Newcastle was one of those famous statement victories that earned Eddie Howe’s team a lot of praise. With Burn, Tonali and Longstaff, three regular players are missing from the first leg, and substitutes Murphy, Targett and Anderson are also not there today. The bloodletting among the English is currently immense and might make the difference today.

before the start The most exciting group in the Champions League is Group F. Everyone can still qualify for the round of 16, and everyone can also be the last to be eliminated from the European Cup entirely. Newcastle currently has the worst cards, with four points, while Paris is in second place with six points before the matchday.

before the start The eleven positions themselves. One of the reasons for this is the high number of injuries in the Magpies team. With Longstaff, Burn, Botman, Barnes, Targett, Wilson and Tonali, who was suspended for months, half of the regular team is missing.

If you go through the list of missing players, we come to a whopping twelve players!

before the start At Newcastle, Eddie Howe has this team playing: Pope – Livramento, Schär, Lascelles, Trippier – Joelinton, Bruno Guimares, Miley – Almiron, Isak, Gordon.

before the start Luis Enrique decides to make three changes compared to the 5-2 win in the league once morest Monaco: Randal Kolo Muani is preferred over Goncalo Ramos today. Danilo Pereira returns in defense and Mukiele replaces him. Lee Kang-In is also allowed to play in midfield, while Vitinha sits on the bench for the time being.

Before the start The line-up of Paris St. Germain at a glance: Donnarumma – Hernandez, Pereira, Skriniar, Hakimi – Lee, Ugarte, Ruiz – Mbappe, Kolo Muani, Dembele.
