Newcastle humiliated Paris Saint-Germain with a combined score of 4-1. The French team has never lost by such a big margin in the UEFA Champions League group stage, and in the wake of the disaster, previously unseen photos of Kylian Mbappé’s response to Newcastle’s hammering have suddenly surfaced.
Along with the loss, this match also yielded a remarkable statistic. The French team had not given up more than three goals in a UEFA Champions League group stage encounter in the previous five years, thus it was rare. The most recent instance of this occurred during the defeat to Liverpool in September 2018, a result that still sticks in the minds of supporters.

This failure caused some of PSG’s well-known players to think back on recent decisions they made in addition to being a blow to the club. In this thrilling match, Ousmane Dembélé, who chose to leave FC Barcelona in quest of financial benefits and join the French team, lost. Football serves as a timely reminder that athletic decisions can take unforeseen paths.
