After a botched bicycle kick against Newcastle, Kylian Mbappe was the target of a jibe from Alejandro Garnacho

In a Champions League match against Newcastle United, Kylian Mbappe was the target of a playful remark on commentary after he missed the target with a bicycle kιck. The acrobatic attempt by PSG’s best player, which was compared to Alejandro Garnacho’s spectacular goal two days prior, was unsuccessful.

On Sunday, in Manchester United’s 3-0 victory against Everton, Garnacho scored one of the greatest goals in Premier League history, cementing his place in football lore.

Just like United great Wayne Rooney did in 2011 against Manchester City, the 19-year-old beаt Jordan Pickford with a bicycle kιck in the third minute at Goodison Park.

Despite the lack of a clear path to goal, Alexander Isak gave Newcastle the lead at the Parc des Princes in the first half on Tuesday.

Throughout the rest of the match, PSG pushed for an equalizer, with Mbappe posing as Luis Enrique’s usual dаnger.

The 24-year-old’s nаme came to light after a rebound from Nick Pope’s save fell to him, and he soared to score an incredible equalizer in the 56th minute.

The ball went wide to the left of the penalty area because of his mistimed effort, and commentator Darren Fletcher made a sly jest about it.

“It seems like he could use some time with Garnacho,” Fletcher said, which made Ally McCoist, his Paris weather co-host, laugh.

In the second half, despite a flurry of efforts from PSG, Newcastle managed to hold on for a tҺrilling draw, putting them in position to sweep the group stage and earn a historic 1-0 victory over the Ligue 1 winners.

If the Magpies had won Group F a second time, they would have guaranteed themselves a spot in the round of 16. This came after a 4-1 victory at St. James’ Park.

After eight minutes of extra time, PSG finally scored when the away team unfairly gave up a penalty for handball in the sixth minute.

After consulting the video assistant referee, Szymon Marciniak, decided that Tino Livramento had handled the ball improperly and pointed to the spot.

Despite the latest incident that has brought UEFA’s handball rules under scrutiny—the ball rebounding off the young defender’s chest onto his hand—he managed to keep his composure.

With Mbappe’s flawless penalty kιck, Newcastle dropped to third place in Group F and now must win their last game against AC Milan to guarantee themselves a berth in the knockout stage.

Assuming PSG loses at Borussia Dortmund, Eddie Howe’s squad will advance if they defeat Milan.
