In a dramatic turn of events, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) and Newcastle United played out a 1-1 draw, with Kylian Mbappe's last-minute penalty salvaging a point for the French side.
Newcastle United took an early lead courtesy of Alexander Isak's first-half goal, putting PSG on the back foot.
As the match progressed, it appeared that Eddie Howe's team was on course for a significant away victory. However, in a sudden twist, PSG's Mbappe successfully converted a stoppage-time penalty, leveling the scoreline.
The equalizing moment for PSG stemmed from Ousmane Dembele's cross from the right wing. The ball made contact with Tino Livramento's arm after initially hitting his body, resulting in the contentious penalty decision.
Despite ethical doubts surrounding the penalty call, Video Assistant Referee (VAR) intervention upheld the decision. Mbappe capitalized on the opportunity, securing the draw for PSG.
The match concluded amid controversy, underscoring the growing debate around the interpretation of handball incidents and the use of technology in modern football.
