Newcastle & Man. City Dominant as Premier League Bounces Back in Champions League

Another day of Champions League action saw two Premier League clubs bounce back after their league counterparts were upset on Tuesday. Wednesday was a different story. Newcastle didn’t just beat PSG (4-1), they obliterated them. Paris actually dominated possession (74%—26%), but Newcastle connected on 50 percent of their shots. Elsewhere, Manchester City, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona were all winners. The early stages of the Champions League mean there’s still plenty of time to turn things around, but the boys from Newcastle are off to a hot start.
