Thoughts on PSG’s draw with Newcastle and Ousmane Dembele’s form

We saw late drama last night as PSG needed a stoppage time penalty, and a controversial one at that, to snatch a 1-1 draw at home to Newcastle United. Obviously it will have to go down as a bit of a disappointing game for PSG, as they didn’t get the win at home when they created so many chances.

Equally, it would be worrying if they weren’t creating those opportunities, so as much as some people might debate how useful things like xG statistics are, they really should’ve scored more goals than the one they got last night, with Nick Pope making a pretty spectacular save from a close-range effort by Bradley Barcola in the second half.

So to take the positives, PSG played well and they still have the chance to top the group if they beat Borussia Dortmund. It was also kind of harsh on Newcastle, though, with the debatable nature of that penalty. In many ways PSG will also be left with more questions than answers after more tinkering from Luis Enrique - every time he does that it seems to have an adverse impact on the team.
