  • Kylian Mbappe endured one of the worst Champions League nights in his career
  • The Frenchman watched on helplessly as PSG suffered a disappointing 4-1 defeat
  • He even failed to muster a shot on target

Kylian Mbappe experienced one of the most challenging nights of his Champions League career as Paris Saint-Germain suffered a humbling defeat against the returning Newcastle United on Wednesday evening.

Despite not participating in PSG's pre-season due to disputes with the club hierarchy over his contract, the 24-year-old has been in exceptional form since the start of the 2023/24 campaign.

Transfermarkt reports that the Frenchman has scored eight goals in eight matches across all competitions, solidifying his status as one of the emerging global football stars.

However, before further asserting his prowess, Mbappe and his PSG teammates received a harsh reality check at St. James' Park. The Magpies, playing at their cherished home grounds in Europe for the first time since 2003, thrashed PSG 4-1, per talkSPORT.

Although the entire team faced difficulties, it was Mbappe's personal performance that surprised many, a departure from his usual excellence.

Sofascore statistics reveal that he failed to register a single shot on target, lost possession 10 times, and did not succeed in any dribbling attempts, emphasizing the challenging nature of the evening for the French superstar.

Here is a compilation of Mbappe's performance vs Newcastle:

Meanwhile, Kylian Mbappe has received suggestions to contemplate his future with Paris Saint-Germain following their humiliating 4-1 defeat to Newcastle United.

Given the magnitude of the loss, some fans are of the opinion that the 24-year-old should not renew his contract with Paris when it expires next summer.

Furthermore, speculation regarding the French star's departure from PSG has escalated, with many proposing that he should contemplate a move to Champions League royalty, Real Madrid.

Newcastle's memorable win vs Mbappe's PSG

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Newcastle United made a triumphant return to the Champions League at St James' Park, where they stunned PSG with a resounding 4-1 victory on Wednesday, October 4th.

Miguel Almiron, Dan Burn, Sean Longstaff, and Fabian Schar all found the net, turning Newcastle's first home game in Europe's premier competition in two decades into an unforgettable evening.

Eddie Howe's squad now sits atop the group, which is widely acknowledged as one of the toughest in this season's Champions League draw.
