Newcastle beat PSG in Champions League as local heroes leave Kylian Mbappe shell-shocked
Mbappe barely got a sniff in Tyneside as he struggled to make any impact
“They’re a side playing in a league – I know Arsenal lost last night [against French outfit Lens], but that was a one-off.
“But come on, they don’t really get challenged, they come up tonight, and I don’t think they did their homework, I think they underestimated Newcastle.
“Newcastle were on the front foot. Marquinhos, what was he doing? [Gianluigi] Donnarumma, what’s he doing?
“You know what, they absolutely got their backside spanked tonight, and they got exactly what they deserved.
“And this is a club that walks around Europe with nothing to show for it, except for big bank balance, no heart, no desire, nothing in Europe, waste of space.
“Newcastle showed them exactly what hard work and organisation, having a plan from top to bottom, a well run club in the last 18 months, a manager settled – Newcastle are the side that PSG want to be.”
He continued: “You’re talking about apples and pears, because the reason is, Newcastle win Ligue 1. Newcastle are better than PSG.”
Cundy added: “I said this at the beginning, everyone called it the ‘Group of Death’, not one bit! It’s not. Newcastle can win this group. They can qualify.
“Newcastle have got a chance of going deep in this competition, I tell you why, they don’t concede many goals.
“In the Champions League, if you don’t concede goals, you’ve got a chance of doing something in this competition, you have.
“You can keep things tight over two legs in the knockout stages, one chance, one goal, you go through, and they’ve got a chance.

“Congratulations to them, but PSG, it’s pathetic from them, absolutely pathetic. What an absolute disgrace they are as a football club, they’re appalling.”
Newcastle’s win leaves them top of Group F with four points ahead of their double-header against Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund.
