PSG performances in the champions league against Newcastle United is unacceptable and Enrique is rightly feeling the heat. On the contrary, i think the manager is finding iot hard to build attacking or defensive rythm after signing lots of players at the start of the season. The coach definitely has to do better; with Bans coming up for few players including Muani; time is right for Enrique to proof himself.

PSG's performances are best in Ligue 1, but they always disappoint in the Champions League, where they have little control. The fact that Newcastle scored goals against PSG did not surprise me in the most; they could actually have performed worse. When it comes to Ligue 1, though, that is when you will see them score a lot of goals and been claimed champions.

You remember 2022 PSG's 1:0 won against Real Madrid in the first leg of the Champions League. So the match vs Newcastle, it feels like nothing to me. Karim Benzema scored three goals in their second leg match. Hat-trick for the group PSG has a streak where they are unable to defeat Real Madrid. The club was still has Neymar and Messi, and it was still difficult for them to reach the champions league final. As a result, I find it difficult to be surprised by the club's current performance. However, I think things would have been much worse for the team if Mbappe hadn't agreed to a new contract, as they haven't been able to win any games since he left the squad at the start of the season. Monaco and Nice are still ahead of them in the league.  Since the club are also the issue—they did not deserve to advance through the group stage of the Champions League—I cannot place the blame on any coach.
