Newcastle legend Alan Shearer confidently predicted that Kylian Mbappe would be marked \u201cout of the game\u201d by Kieran Trippier before the French star had a dismal evening at St James\u2019 Park. The Magpies triumphed 4-1 over Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday evening in their first home Champions League match for nearly 20 years.<\/p>\n
Goals came from Miguel Almiron, Dan Burn, Sean Longstaff and Fabian Schar while Lucas Hernandez got the sole PSG goal in the second half. But the visitors were rarely able to get their talisman Mbappe on the ball in advantageous positions, with Luis Enrique\u2019s side struggling against the famed Newcastle press.<\/p>\n
Mbappe\u2019s fellow forwards Goncalo Ramos, Ousmane Dembele and Randal Kolo Muani were unable to hold onto the ball long enough to sustain possession in the Newcastle half, while the Ligue 1 champions\u2019 buildup was constantly picked apart by Eddie Howe\u2019s outfit on a historic night for the side.<\/p>\n
Mbappe looked visibly frustrated at his team\u2019s inability to supply him with opportunities, as he cut a forlorn figure in the middle of the pitch amid Newcastle\u2019s celebrations. Trippier and the rest of the backline did a stellar job in keeping the 24-year-old quiet, though Shearer was among those who expected a difficult evening for the France star.<\/p>\n

This game is going to be no different. The Champions League is where I want to play, and you play against the best wingers in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n Not only did Trippier live up to Shearer\u2019s expectations and \u2018pocket\u2019 Mbappe but his son also came away with the striker\u2019s shirt. After the England defender admitted in his pre-match press conference that his son wanted to walk out with Mbappe as opposed to his own father, such is the extent that he is idolised, Mbappe then gave his shirt to Trippier\u2019s son after the match.<\/p>\n Trippier\u2019s son Jacob could be seen parading Mbappe\u2019s shirt around St James\u2019 Park after the match, despite the PSG star initially promising to give it away to Longstaff who had plans to hand it to his little brother.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Get access to\u00a0every<\/em>\u00a0fixture on TNT Sports via your existing Prime Video app on your Smart TV, iPhone or iPad, Android or games console for just \u00a329.99.<\/p>\n Everything is charged to the card saved to your Amazon account and you don’t need to sign up for a contract.
