PSG will play their qualification in the round of 16 of the Champions League on the pitch of Borussia Dortmund. The Parisians will have to be much more efficient in the opposing area to avoid a big disappointment. This is what almost happened this evening against Newcastle (1-1) where the draw was snatched in the dying seconds thanks to a penalty from Mbappé.

Proof of this lack of offensive realism, the famous executed goals. According to Opta, Luis Enrique’s men only scored one goal despite 4.47 xG, a deficit of 3.47 goals. This is quite simply the highest score in a C1 match since UEFA introduced this data during the 2013/2014 season.
