The hosts were the more dominant side throughout though. They started the match in rapid fashion working the ball out to Kylian Mbappe and whipping crosses into the box. Newcastle’s defence, led by Jamaal Lascelles, was solid though and repelled the early onslaught before the attackers settled into the match.
Miguel Almiron’s effort from the right side of the box was palmed away by Gianluigi Donnarumma who only managed to tip it into the path of Alexander Isak. The forward poking home to send the visitors in front.
Things stayed that way, despite increasing pressure from the home side, until stoppage time. VAR judging that Tino Livramento had handled the ball inside the penalty area before Mbappe calmly slotting home the spot kick.
