PSG bailed out by a very questionable handball penalty in the 97th minute. Makeshift 11 by Newcastle played some resolute football.

I can’t stand Newcastle but they got robbed. Here’s some discussion about it and the video. Notably, the VAR official who made the call has been relieved of duties for todays matches. So maybe that’s a tacit admission of error.

ah, shit.  i didn't know that was the tiebreaker.  Arsenal up 2-0.  good news for PSV.

[Jive Turkey 12592]

check that.  Arsenal is now up 5-0 on Lens.  😲

Pepi's header just put PSV into the round of 16.

[Firemans4Horn 18034]

Onana is like concussed Karius every champions league game. 

[Captain Ron 12862]

So ManU is hosting Bayern in the final matchday needing a win and that still might not be enough.

United have given up 14 goals in 5 games. 
 

2 games against Copenhagen and Galatasaray and 1 against Bayern. That’s honestly shocking defense.

hands down the second best studio show in all of sports behind the TNT boys.  they're just so good together.  they've got that chemistry.  the Micah Richards haircut discussion last season was gold.

Amazing goal line clearance by AC Milan.

PSG is 38 minutes from being Europa bound. 

[mdmost 42997]

Now back to level with Newcastle. Not sure who has the tiebreaker here. Both have a GD of 1.

Newcastle have 4 points H2H against PSG so they would go through if tied on 8 points. 

[mdmost 42997]

And now PSG are ahead since Milan went level with Newcastle. Fun final day.

This PSG-Dortmund announcer needs to chill out. 
 

“THIS IS A HUGE MOMENT IN DORTMUND, HUGE MOMENT IN PARIS, HUGE MOMENT IN MILAN, HUGE MOMEMT IN NEWCASTLE. GOODNESS ME!”

Milan takes the lead, they need a Dortmund goal to advance.

Do all of the 3rd place teams parachute into Europa or is it just some of the top points getters?

3rd place teams fall to Europa. They are paired with the runner ups in each group. Winner of those ties take on the group winners in the round of 16.

 

Both Man U and Newcastle totally blew it both falling to 4th and are completely out of Europe now.
