The UEFA Champions League match played on the 4th of October 2023, 19:00 EEST, between Newcastle United and Paris Saint-Germain delivered a resounding victory for the home team. Newcastle United emerged triumphant with a superior 4-1 scoreline.

Newcastle United's distinct control over the match is reflected in the goal statistics, with four different players, Almiron, Burn, Longstaff, and Schar each netting a goal. The team demonstrated a sharp eye for openings, with optimal use of assists by Isak, Guimaraes, Trippier, and Murphy. Paris Saint-Germain had a single goal, scored by Lucas Hernandez, aided by Warren Zaire-Emery.

In terms of attacking strength, Newcastle United significantly outperformed Paris Saint-Germain, managing to direct eight shots directly on target compared to PSG's meager two. However, it wasn't sheer volume alone, as Newcastle displayed commendable accuracy by sending only two shots off target compared to PSG's six.

On a more cautious note, both teams exhibited a fair share of aggression for this match, resulting in a flurry of yellow cards. Newcastle United received 3, with cautions for Guimaraes, Gordon, and Pope. Paris Saint-Germain accumulated 4 yellow cards, with Hernandez, Hakimi, Dembele, Zaire-Emery each receiving a caution.

Despite having a hattrick of cautions more than the side from Paris, Newcastle United kept themselves in check when it came to fouls committed; count totalling 16, compared to PSG's 9. Interesting to note, however, that despite this difference in fouls, both teams kept it clean with 0 red cards each.

An interesting aspect of the match was the corner kicks. Despite Newcastle United's dominance in terms of shots and goals, Paris Saint-Germain led the corner count with eight compared to Newcastle's solitary corner. Yet, it seems Newcastle were able to keep PSG's threat from corners at bay while utilizing their own single corner effectively.

In summary, Newcastle United’s victory was primarily driven by their clinical conversion rate, optimal use of assists and contained aggression. While Paris Saint-Germain did have an edge in corner kicks, it failed to translate those opportunities into a tangible advantage on the scoreboard. Additionally, their inefficiency in front of the goal and high count of off-target shots significantly impacted the final outcome.
