PSG took on water as rarely on the pitch at St James’ Park.
The capital club experienced a nightmare evening on Wednesday in Newcastle. Weighed down by a lack of intensity in the duels, the Parisians foundered to lose 4-1 on the pitch at St James’ Park. A setback of historic proportions since PSG only did worse once in the Champions League, during the comeback in March 2017.
These four goals conceded against the Magpies are also a rarity. To find such a porous Parisian defense during a Champions League group stage match, we even have to go back to 2001 and the famous defeat conceded on the pitch of Deportivo La Corogne (4-3) after having led 3-0.
In all competitions, PSG had not conceded four goals since the prolific draw against Amiens (4-4) in April 2020.
