After winning with a goal from Ferran Torres who replaced Lewandowski because he seemed to be having problems, Barcelona's game was still quite good and focused. although, there were several misses between the Barcelona players. Yamal's played quite well in this match, but not Joao Felix. Despite having several opportunities, 2 shots on target, 43 touches, 2 blocked shots, 1 off target, Felix did not play calm at all in this match. and yes, Barcelona had difficulties especially in the second half.

The situation in the second half Porto played more aggressively than Barcelona. They were in Barcelona's defense a lot, but were unable to take advantage of every opportunity that existed. As for the goal that was scored, it had to be disallowed because it had been caught offside first. This match is over, a narrow victory for Barcelona but it makes their position safe in 1st place in the Group H phase.
And what deserves appreciation is the Barcelona goalkeeper, Ter Stegen, he played with a good performance by making 5 saves.  Very lucky in this match, Barcelona didn't concede. Unfortunately, it looks like Lewandowski has to be pulled out because Xavi doesn't want anything to happen that becomes a serious problem. Unfortunately, Gavi got a red card, but at least Barcelona won.

In other matches, as I expected, the Dortmund vs Milan match would end in a draw. and one match, which was beyond my expectations. PSG was humiliated by Newcastle with a fairly large score. My prediction is that PSG will win this match. in fact, they were beaten by Newcastle.

The game ended with the Magpies winning 4-1 against the Parisians. Another reason I'm accustomed to UEFA Champions League football is because of the unexpected outcomes. In today's encounter against the Magpies, Paris Saint-Germain were humiliated. Luis Enrique is extremely disappointed with his team's performance; I cannot convey how disheartening it is for an elite club to fall short. Newcastle United put up one of the most competent performances of the season against the French giant. Newcastle boss, Eddie Howe impressed and aiming for his team to explore more in elite leagues.

I'm surprised with the performance of Newcastle today. They defeated PSG with 4 goals, it is very impressive. I believe no people expect Newcastle to destroy PSG with many goals, PSG is actually stronger if we consider the squad quality. But Newcastle showed to people that the cohesiveness of playing as a solid team is more important than star players. Although PSG has star players, Newcastle can beat them with convincing scores because they play solidly. Now, they are leading the group F. They have good chance to qualify to the next round.

Agree, it is embarrassing that PSG got defeated with big scores (4 goals). Their defense looked very fragile (so weak). They also only scored 1 goal, it means Mbappe and other PSG attackers played underperformance. PSG game is totally very messy, they never played as a solid team although they have many star players.

Newcastle came to the champions league and surprised everybody especially in tonight's game against the French champions, I never expected this game to be so easy for Newcastle with the way they ran through the PSG defense was just too easy, and they had to silence Mbappe all through the game. I thought PSG would hammer Newcastle and even make them regret why they even qualify for the champions league. Newcastle have made their fans proud tonight, and it's official that PSG are not fit for the champions league football, they don't have what it takes to be a Champions League competitors.

I get to eat my words.for the Newcastle match against PSG. I expected PSG to fund a way to cope with the atmosphere and havc the edge over the magpies, but they looked clueless for most of the match with Mbappe not being able to create any chances.

I do expect the atmosphere at the stadium, but nothing compared to the noise frrom the over 50,000 in attendance. They were the 12th man thought out the game and really played their part.

Over at Portugal, Barcelona managed to win out over Porto, but the games showed a lot of lapses in the Barcelona team if they want to compete for all silverware.

It's true, PSG had the 4 best attackers in their attack line in that match but they failed. Dembele, Mbappe, Muani and Ramos played from the first half but they couldn't do much because Newcastle's defense was quite tight. I think PSG's defeat to Newcastle is the reason why Group F is called the hell group, and it's true that every match is very difficult to predict.

In another match, Manchester City really had difficulty beating Leipzig even though in the end 2 add goals by Alvarez and Doku made them win 1-3. Barcelona also managed to win 3 points from Porto, while Milan and Dortmund played out a goalless draw. PSG were super bad, they lost 4-1 to Newcastle which was the most embarrassing thing.

I think Newcastle United were seen as the underdog before the game started  and judging from their poor performance against AC Milan were they performed very poor I think PSG being more experienced in the competition underated and they have been defeated by the English team what a big disgrace once again for PSG.

Newcastle deserves the win because they have been the better team so far judging from the number of goal attempts they have made in the game but the PSG team only enjoyed the possession of the ball nothing else, the Newcastle United coach should be appluded because he worked on the performance of his players after their poor display against AC Milan and today their efforts has been rewarded because they are currently topping their group if the match ends in this score line.

very strong performance today indeed from newcastle and a poor outcome for psg,

Newcastle just scored a 4th goal which is super embarassing for Psg if  the score wasnt already,  they had only 2 shots on target all game,  this match certainly looks like a dream come  true  for longtime newcastle fans,  who would have thought few years ago they would see something like this ?

The match is almost over and it looks like PSG can only score one goal and considering that time is almost up, it is impossible for PSG to equalize the score because a two goal difference against Newcastle is not an easy thing. Apart from time running out, Newcastle also had a pretty good defense.
Dortmund vs AC Milan the score is still 0-0 and both teams are really strong and very careful in playing.
And in the current Group F standings, Newcastle is at the top of the standings and PSG is in second place, AC Milan is in third place, and Dortmund is in last place.

I’m not surprised seeing that Newcastle United are now scoring PSG because I will confidently say that even before the start of this game, I have the feeling that they will win because Newcastle is a team that doesn’t have a name or reputation like PSG, Dortmund, and others but is stronger than those teams with big names. However, many people also think that Newcastle will not be the winner for today's match, but as it’s now, it’s clearly that they have won this game for me. They are now about to finish the match, and I believe whatever PSG will play now, Newcastle won’t take any wrong movement that they will score; they won’t equalise these goals.


With the way Newcastle's performance has improved, I believe they will do more than they did before because this team is very strong when it comes to defending and their midfield is very good, so you can see that this squad will surely do their best to see them at the top this season. However, any team that beats Manchester City will definitely win. I don’t think there will be a team that they won’t face, and they will concur with them, in my opinion, with the way Manchester City is performing.

A very interesting match took place this time between PSG and Newcastle. Most people would definitely think that PSG would be superior. But it turns out, Newcastle played really extraordinary this time. However, the match is still ongoing, up to the current minute in 82', Newcastle is still leading the match with a score of 3-1. This is really surprising because Newcastle can be that superior. However, Newcastle must remain calm and not be careless, because there is still time for both of them and no one knows what will happen next. At the very least, Newcastle must continue to strengthen their defense in anticipation of PSG scoring goals. So if they can maintain this position, they will win. Currently, PSG is really dominating the match and it looks like Newcastle is focusing on defense.

Leipzig finally got an equalizer and that has awakened their confidence and it can be seen that they now come out to attack and finding possible chances to get a second goal if possible but then man city is not giving them that space enough, man city is still maintaining their dominance in the game with a firm attacking force but then Leipzig seem to have some good Walls around their defense as they want to protect their only goal at all cost to at least secure one point by the end of the game.

Halland has not really been at his best today, I carefully observed something about him today, previously I used to see him as a very fantastic and brilliant player but then it's gradually becoming clear to me that he is just a goal scorer and nothing more, he is not really good at making the Chance or giving good assist but then when given assist he knows how well to get a goal from it.

Man City just added a goal to their goal, I think this has seal their fate for today, they will successfully secure the three points with this goal as they will not allow Leipzig get an equalizer, city has really put up a brilliant performance today tho not with too many goals jus as I expected but then what's most important is securing the three points which they may most likely do tonight.

Newcastle have certainly cleared the doubt of everyone and critics on the height of standard  that this team has come to achieve, although PSG are not in the best state of a team because the team is currently facing devastating gameplay and performance but we actually can't deny the fact that this Newcastle team are no longer a team to underestimate because they are now in the top of their performance.

But to say the truth I actually never expected them to be this poor against Newcastle, I mean a score of 3goals to one is certainly a poor results for the height that PSG is currently rated in football.

Atletico Madrid won 3-2 against Feyenoord. I think Feyenoord were the side that wanted to win more, but they had some misfortunes. The first half ended in a 2-2 draw but in the second half there was a different Feyenoord. Feyenoord had more possession and had more chances to score than Atletico Madrid but they couldn't capitalize on them and had to concede a goal. Feyenoord deserved to win the game but it was a winner-takes-all game and it's a sad result for Feyenoord. They had the chance to win this game away from home, but they have to find fault with themselves for not making the most of it.  If they had won this match we could easily say that they would have come out as leaders in the group. I would say that they still have a chance to come out as leaders because if they play so well at home it won't be difficult for them to win against Atletico Madrid.

Newcastle leading in the match is not a surprise to me but the goal margin amazes me. How can Newcastle be leading the highly-rated PSG by three goals to one? This is one of the worst results the club has experienced in recent times. The match between Milan and Dortmund in Signal Iduna Park is still goalless,  if the game ends this way PSG will be in the second position with just three points while Newcastle will top the group table with four points. But nothing is impossible in the game of football and the match is still in the 69th minute.  We have seen clubs turning the game around in less than one minute so PSG can still get at least a draw from this game.

Manchester City didn't add any goal in the second half yet. Leipzig are resisting until now but I think they will concede a goal at the end.

Newcastle 3 - 1 PSG. What a failure, could they scare in the remaining 30 minutes?

---

Atletico Madrid did well vs Feyenoord, Barcelona are leading in their match vs Porto. Lazio and Milan are tying in their games for the moment.

PSG needs to do better than this if they obviously want to go far in this tournament otherwise they'd have to rely on the unseriousness of Ac Milan and Dortmund to qualify from this group. It's hard to see PSG struggling against a team that hasn't been to the UCL dunking of them.

It's now 3-1.

If they have gotten a goal when it was still 2-0 down, the pressure will now be on Newcastle but right now, it isn't.


Since they got new owners and got some quality additions to their squad, they've been top class. I didn't expected anything less plus PSG is outright bad this season.

So many people here downgraded the ability of Newcastle United to beat almost all the teams in their groups, which is very possible because they are very good defensively and their midfield is better than that of AC Milan, Dortmund, and PSG; they are just big teams that have already made names. That is why people were thinking that Newcastle United will be at the bottom of the group after all the group stage matches.

Newcastle is now winning PSG 3-1, and PSG is playing its best squad. I am very confident that Newcastle will win this match because they have the ability to defend their goals till the final minutes.

Many people that made initial predictions were making reference to their poor Premier League start Newcastle United have, which is now gone because they have improved their league performance because they beat Manchester City in a cup and are also the club that scored the highest number of goals in one match in the Premier League this season; therefore, I am expecting them to qualify ahead of Milan and Dortmund.

True but Inter Milan improved from game to game during the last Champions League season. They became better with every game they played and that's what led them into the final of the Champions League eventually. It wasn't an easy journey for them of course as the Champions League is never easy, but what helped them a lot were the two quick goals against AC Milan in the derby and that quickly put the nail in the coffin for that derby. AC Milan never had a real chance to come back from that. Now they are again looking strong although Lautaro Martinez should have scored 10 goals in the last match...

If a club that's desperately in need of the Champions League trophy can't beat Newcastle United then I don't think they're ready to achieve it this season,I'm proud of Eddie Howe for what he's doing currently with his team i love how he's connecting with his players and delivering good results, a win against against
Paris Saint-Germain tonight would be a good record for his career as a coach.
 
 With their performance against PSG, they'll definitely go far in the champions league this season and it would be suprising to see them reach the quarter final or even the Semi's and that would boost Eddie Howe's managerial career.
