Newcastle United vs PSG Preview - 04/10/2023 - UEFA Champions League
Newcastle United are set to host Pari Saint-Germain in the second group stage match of the UEFA Champions League 2023/24 on October 4 at St. James Park.
Eddie Howe's side had a stellar season, earning their ticket to the Champions League fore the first time since 2003. After finishing the Premier League campaign in the 4th spot last season, the Magpies have had a strong kick-start to the ongoing tournament. Yet, it seems that the English side were welcomed to the UCL in one of the most, if not the most competitive group, where they face PSG, Borussia Dortmund and AC Milan.
Apart from their participation in the league, Newcastle also took part in the FA Cup and EFL Cup, where they were eliminated in the third round of the FA Cup and were runners-up to Manchester United in the final of the EFL Cup.
In the previous season, PSG clinched both the Ligue 1 title and the Trophee des Champions, which had become somewhat routine for them due to their sustained dominance in French football. Alongside their domestic league campaign, they also took part in the Coupe de France and the UEFA Champions League during that season. The season began on a positive note for Luis Enrique's squad as they secured their eleventh Trophée des Champions.
Kylian Mbappe, who emerged as the top scorer in Ligue 1, concluded his season with an outstanding tally of 41 goals in 43 appearances across all competitions. He consistently shone in the star-studded PSG lineup, often playing a pivotal role in securing victories for the team, particularly in challenging situations.
Newcastle played a goalless draw with AC Milan, meanwhile, PSG celebrated a 2-0 win over Borussia Dortmund as Mbappe and Hakimi scored.
