Third in Group F, Paris hosted Newcastle, the weakest team in its group and had the opportunity to regain second place in Dortmund and offer themselves a little security ahead of their last match in Germany, December 13 . A victory would have allowed them to settle for a draw in the last match but the defeat conceded against the Magpies (1-2) will force Zoumana Camara and his players to win in order not to be eliminated from the Youth League.
Summary of the match: Paris crucified in the final moments
Against Newcastle last in Group F, PSG had the opportunity to regain second place after Dortmund’s defeat against AC Milan. Very quickly superior to their opponent of the day, the young Parisian U19s were cooled following a nice collective movement concluded at the far post by Bailey, after a good percussion from Sanusi (12th). In the process, the Parisians obtained several scoring opportunities through Mayulu (19th, 27th), Nhaga (29th), Mbappé (41st) or Mbaye (43rd). In the meantime, Mouquet had kept his team in the game by perfectly diverting Hernes’ shot (31st).
These Magpies were well within the reach of this PSG, which even reduced to ten, continued to have situations thanks to the speed of Ibrahim Mbaye and the calls of Mahamadou Sangaré but no clear opportunities. Which says a lot about the very average performance of Parisians.
We imagine that without the expulsion of Mayulu, this second half would have had a completely different flavor. And Sangaré’s equalizer (1-1, 85th) only confirmed this feeling, as did the gag goal conceded three minutes later following a deflected shot from Emerson. Despite the defeat, the capital club still has its destiny in its hands. We will have to win in Dortmund on December 13.
Bad operation of the U19s #PSG in Youth League. 2-1 defeat of the Titis reduced to 10 against Newcastle.

The player: Senny Mayulu
The U19 captain of Zoumana Camara was exemplary against AC Milan at the Loges camp by scoring a sublime goal synonymous with victory. Against Newcastle, the midfielder first had two opportunities to equalize after a combination from a corner (19th) then from a second ball inside six meters (27th). Lacking inspiration, his team did not help his gesture just after returning from the locker room. To prevent the Magpies from coming out, Mayulu held McArthur’s jersey and received a second unnecessary yellow card. Did he even know he was warned? His teammates did not recover from his expulsion.
The number: 1
Third, one point behind Dortmund, PSG is in bad shape after its home defeat against Newcastle (1-2). Until then, Paris has only been eliminated once in the Youth League. It was during the 2019-2020 season: the capital club finished third in its group, behind FC Bruges and Real Madrid, with six points. Or its current total.
The declaration
Zoumana Camara (PSG coach): “We weren’t in the match. There was a team who came to play a Youth League match who came determined and who had never won before. I think this is the image of what we have to erase a little here: as soon as we are a little favorite, there is this touch of arrogance of self-importance. You have to know how to raise your level of play and our young players today are not able to do that. They approached the match too lightly and as soon as he got into it, they looked at the referee to complain about the fouls but it’s a Youth League match! They tried at times but it was too individualistic. »
