Stats & Facts: A look back at the game against Newcastle

MBAPPÉ with the BUZZER BEATER

That man Kylian Mbappé just cannot leave a record unbroken. Just days after seeing teammate Randal Kolo Muani overtake him as the scorer of the club's latest-ever goal in the league, Paris's no. 7 struck back last night by becoming the scorer of the club's latest-ever goal in any competition. After converting from the penalty spot in the 98th minute (97:18 was the exact goal time), Mbappé has now beaten the record set by Antoine Kombouaré, who scored a header at exactly 95:55 against Real Madrid in 1993, and in the grand scheme of Paris Saint-Germain's latest-ever goals, there's practically an eternity between the two.

You could say that KM7's goal represents procrastination at its peak, but he's also found the back of the net in each of his last nine Champions League starts, scoring a total of 12 goals in that time, as well as notching up his 60th goal contribution for Paris in the competition (37 goals and 23 assists).

A+√B (12c ÷ 2√x) = Paris go through

The permutations are simple – the only solution that will ensure that Paris Saint-Germain finish top of the group is a win away to Dortmund on 13th December, as any other result would leave them relying on the result of the game between Milan and Newcastle. A draw could well be enough for Paris if The Magpies fail to beat I Rossoneri, while a defeat in west Germany could still send them through to the last 16 if the group's other game ends in a draw.
