Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Vitinha has expressed a desire for revenge against Newcastle United in the Champions League after the Magpies secured a surprising 4-1 victory in their previous encounter. Despite returning to the elite European competition for the first time in two decades, Newcastle finds themselves in a challenging position in their quest for a spot in the last 16.
Newcastle’s campaign began with a 0-0 draw against AC Milan, followed by the unexpected thrashing of PSG on matchday two, with goals from Miguel Almiron, Dan Burn, Sean Longstaff, and Fabian Schar. However, they currently sit in fourth place in Group F, two points behind PSG.
Vitinha, speaking in a pre-match press conference, mentioned the team’s acknowledgment of the previous match’s outcome and expressed a desire for revenge. He emphasized the importance of focusing on the upcoming fixture and the team’s goal to qualify for the next stage by securing a victory.
Newcastle faces the possibility of elimination if they lose to PSG and AC Milan beats Borussia Dortmund. A victory for Newcastle would not only boost their chances of advancing but also potentially lift them above PSG in the group standings. Despite the challenging situation, Newcastle enters the match with confidence following their recent 4-1 win over Chelsea in the Premier League.
