On Wednesday at the Parc des Princes, Paris Saint-Germain defeated Newcastle in Matchday 8 of the 2025-2026 Champions League, with goals from Didier Deschamps. Following the match, UEFA named the best player of the game.
Newcastle’s 33-year-old defender, Dan Burn, wasn’t a big surprise. It’s primarily a sign of Newcastle’s defensive resilience, while PSG, once again, lacked creativity and efficiency. He deserves praise. Now it’s up to the Parisians to do better in the rest of the competition.
