EDDIE HOWE DISAPPOINTED WITH CONTROVERSIAL DRAW AGAINST PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN

Unlucky Penalty Denies Newcastle a Victory
Eddie Howe, the manager of Newcastle United, expressed his disappointment after a controversial last-minute draw against Paris Saint-Germain. The Magpies were on the verge of a famous Champions League win at the Parc des Princes when a fortuitous penalty was awarded against them in stoppage time.

Questionable Handball Decision
The penalty was given after Tino Livramento was harshly judged to have handled the ball. It happened when Ousmane Dembele's cross deflected off the defender's chest and onto his arm. Many believed it was an unfair decision.

Positive Performance from Newcastle
Despite the disappointing result, Newcastle put on a spirited display in the French capital. Alexander Isak scored the opening goal in the first half, and the team showed great commitment and execution throughout the match.

Eddie Howe's Thoughts
Speaking to TNT Sports, Eddie Howe shared his thoughts on the match. He said, "I'm still coming to terms with it. I feel really flat but at the same time really pleased with what the players gave today — their commitment, execution." He also mentioned that luck was not on their side and that he didn't believe the penalty should have been given.

Referee's Performance
Howe acknowledged that the referee had been having a good game until the controversial penalty decision. He had been strong in his decisions throughout the match.

Qualification Hopes Still Alive
The 1-1 draw has made Newcastle's hopes of qualifying for the knockout stage more challenging. They now need to beat AC Milan in their next match and rely on Borussia Dortmund to prevent PSG from winning. However, Howe emphasized that they are still in the competition and have not lost hope.

Remaining Optimistic
Despite the deflating feeling after the draw, Howe expressed optimism about the rest of the season. He said, "We still believe. As much as it's a huge, deflating feeling — it could be another story in our season."
