GOAL! PSG 0-1 Newcastle (Isak, 25)
LIFT OFF FOR NEWCASTLE UNITED!!

Tino Livramento dances his way from the right-back channel all the way through a sea of PSG legs before setting up Almiron on the opposite flank.

Miley makes a cute run off the ball to drag Hernandez wide, to create the space. Almiron accepts the gift to shoot low.

Gianluigi Donnarumma can only parry the effort into the feet of Alexander Isak who spears his shot high into the net!

The Ligue 1 champions have a score to settle with the Magpies after going down 4-1 at St. James’ Park last month. Another defeat against Eddie Howe’s side at Parc des Princes would leave Luis Enrique’s men facing an uphill battle to qualify from Group F. “All four teams hold their fate in their hands,” said the 53-year-old after watching his team lose 2-1 at Milan. “They are still two matches to go and we can still progress.” The same goes for Newcastle, who remain just three points behind leaders Dortmund despite their 2-0 defeat in Germany last time out. “We’re probably going to have to win our last two games,” admitted Howe. “We accept [the situation] and have to look to the future now.”

Milan v Dortmund (21:00)

With only two points separating third-placed Milan and Group F leaders Dortmund, the Rossoneri know victory at San Siro would leave them well-placed to book a last-16 berth for the second successive campaign. “We’re back in the mix for the group now,” Ruben Loftus-Cheek told Uefa.com after helping his side beat Paris on Matchday 4. “We have a really talented team. I think we can go far [in the competition].” Standing in Milan’s way are a Dortmund side who reached the summit thanks to back-to-back victories over Newcastle. “We’ve beaten an absolutely top outfit for the second time, and convincingly too,” forward Karim Adeyemi said after a 2-0 triumph on Matchday 4. “Nothing’s been decided yet, but we’re in a very good position.”

For the first time in their history, Dortmund have gone four consecutive Champions League home matches without conceding a goal.

Man City v Leipzig (21:00)

City qualified by making it four wins from four when they beat Young Boys 3-0 last time out and a point here will be enough for them to seal top spot in the section. However, midfielder Matheus Nunes is keen for them to keep their foot on the gas, saying: “We cannot look at those two games as spare because we want to get through in first place. We want to win both of them.” Leipzig are also through but, following the win at Crvena zvezda, midfielder Emil Forsberg was quick to point out where they must improve if they are to compete with Pep Guardiola’s men. “We should have scored more goals,” he said. “In the second half, we weren’t calm enough and were too sloppy in creating our own game. We need to be calmer in the attacking third.”
