Head-to-head record

Previous meetings: 3

Draws: 2

Paris Saint-Germain versus Newcastle United has been a rare fixture over the years, but with the Magpies' return to European football, the clubs have faced off three times so far.

Les Parisiens are yet to record a win in this fixture, while the Toon can boast one, with the other two meetings between the sides ending honours even.

The first time PSG and Newcastle clashed was in the group phase of the Champions League back in October 2023, when the Ligue 1 club made the trip to St James' Park.

Eddie Howe's men raced into a two-goal lead in the first half thanks to efforts from Miguel Almiron and Dan Burn, before Sean Longstaff and Fabian Schar notched in the second period on their way to securing a 4-1 statement victory.

That defeat was PSG's worst in the group stage of UEFA's premier club competition since a 3-0 beating at the hands of Chelsea in September 2004, while also marking the Magpies' first group stage win since November 2002, when Craig Bellamy bagged a brace in a 3-2 triumph over Feyenoord.

Most recently, Newcastle travelled to the Parc des Princes for their final league phase game in January 2026, heading into the clash level on points and goal-difference, while also recording exactly the same results, and it seemed that whichever club won would secure a spot in the top eight.

Luis Enrique's hosts made a quick start to the contest, and moments after Ousmane Dembele's fourth-minute penalty was saved by Nick Pope, Vitinha scored with a great finish from the edge of the box.

However, Joe Willock levelled the game for the visitors just before half time, leaving both teams frustrated with a point, and denying both sides automatic qualification to the round of 16.
