Newcastle United were robbed of a huge three points in the Champions League on Tuesday evening, drawing 1-1 with Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League after Kylian Mbappe\u2019s controversial 98th-minute penalty.<\/strong><\/p>\n
PSG\u00a0may have started the brighter of the two teams in Paris, but Alexander Isak was first to get his name on the scoresheet. There was some lovely work from Lewis Miley and Tino Livramento in the build-up, but it was the Swedish forward who provided the crucial touch after firing home from close range.<\/p>\n

What a goal. Starts with the deep run from Miley to create space, ends up with a Messi-esque run from Livramento. Alexander Isak doing what he does best.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s a huge goal, and a huge shock to the group. Got to maintain focus and physical levels here.<\/p>\n

Tino Livramento \u2013 what a prospect. Fearless, good touch\/decision-making. Great run across edge of #PSG<\/a> area in build-up to Isak goal. #NUFC<\/a> #PSGNEW<\/a><\/p>\n

However, Isak was given a very literal helping hand from PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, the Italian parrying Miguel Almiron\u2019s weak effort into his path. For someone of the 24-year-old\u2019s reputation, it was a major error.<\/p>\n

Gianluigi Donnarumma the current leader in the \u201cmust play brilliantly when I don\u2019t watch\u201d stakes. That parry out was absolutely dismal<\/p>\n

Donnarumma with the earliest decline in GK history man peaked when he was 12<\/p>\n

There was plenty of praise for Newcastle\u2019s youngsters \u2013 21-year-old Livramento and 17-year-old Lewis Miley. For the latter, it was a first Champions League start, an opportunity the midfielder took with aplomb.<\/p>\n

As impressive as Newcastle had been, they certainly had Nick Pope to thank for some fine saves. The goalkeeper produced a phenomenal stop to deny Bradley Barcola in the second half from just six yards out.<\/p>\n

Nick Pope\u2019s performance is one for the ages. Astonishing save.<\/p>\n

Ridiculous save Nick Pope, that looked like a certain goal.<\/p>\n

However, despite all of Newcastle\u2019s efforts, it was a controversial late penalty that robbed them of three crucial points. The ball struck Livramento\u2019s arm but it had bounced off his chest first. An incredibly harsh decision, with Mbappe making no mistake from the spot.<\/p>\n
\n
How on earth is that a penalty for PSG. Ludicrous!<\/p>\n
