PSG lost the reverse fixture 4-1 to Newcastle and also went down 2-1 to AC Milan in the last European outing, meaning the Parisians are currently on only six points in the Group of Death. Luckily for Mbappe’s crew, the rest of the pack has also lost points, which has helped PSG to hang on to a top-two spot. However, a negative result on Tuesday would leave the team in an uncomfortable spot for the final round of action.
Mbappe has been a bit quiet in Europe this season, netting only two goals in four appearances, but his overall form has been as good as it’s ever been. With 16 games played across all competitions, Mbappe is averaging exactly a goal per game. He has tallied 42 goals in 65 career outings in the Champions League, which suggests that his strike rate should improve during the rest of the European campaign.
Newcastle also has two losses in the tough group and sits in the cellar with four points. However, Borussia Dortmund has only three more points as the group leader, meaning qualification is still very much a realistic possibility for Eddie Howe’s men. They can’t afford to lose on Tuesday, though, as another PSG victory and Dortmund’s possible win over AC Milan would lock up the two qualification spots before the last round.
Howe’s team entered the international break with back-to-back losses but returned to winning ways with a morale-boosting victory over Chelsea over the weekend. The team has had some awful luck with injury, and it’s had a massive impact on Newcastle’s results, but the Magpies showed great character against the Blues and a huge 4-1 victory was exactly what the doctor ordered ahead of Tuesday’s big battle in the Champions League.
