Yet it looked like history was about to repeat itself at one point.<\/p>\n
The game had not long kicked off when PSG were awarded a controversial penalty following a video assistant referee (VAR) review after the ball bounced off the arm of Bradley Barcola and then struck Lewis Miley’s hand inside the box.<\/p>\n
It brought back memories of when Newcastle<\/a> defender Tino Livramento was penalised for an unintentional handball at the same stadium in 2023.<\/p>\n Kylian Mbappe took full advantage that night but, this time, Pope got a strong hand to Ousmane Dembele’s spot-kick to briefly quieten the Parc des Princes.<\/p>\n Although Vitinha did put the hosts in front, just a few minutes later, Newcastle<\/a> did not crumble, even after such a shaky start.<\/p>\n They did not let their frustrations get the better of them, either, when they were not awarded a penalty of their own after the ball struck Marquinhos’ hand inside the box a few minutes before Joe Willock equalised.<\/p>\n
