Paris Saint-Germain and Porto advanced to the Champions League round of 16, while Newcastle was eliminated from Europe following a 2-1 loss to AC Milan at home. PSG advanced as runners-up as Milan overcame a late deficit to defeat Newcastle at St. James’ Park, eliminating Eddie Howe’s team. Milan and PSG drew 1-1 on the road against Group F champions Borussia Dortmund. Joelinton’s goal in the first half gave Newcastle the lead. Though it wasn’t enough for Milan to overcome PSG, Christian Pulisic’s equalizer on the hour and substitute Samuel Chukwueze’s 84th-minute winner broke Newcastle’s hearts. “We threw ourselves into the match,” Howe remarked. Karim Adeyemi’s goal early in the second half of Germany’s match put the French champions, who were in danger of suffering their first group stage loss since Qatar took over in 2011, down. “We’re not even close to being the final product,” PSG captain Marquinhos stated. “We’re going to have to prepare well and prepare better because bigger opponents are on the way.” Porto defeated the Ukrainians 5-3 to go to the round of 16, where they faced Shakhtar Donetsk. An early goal by Galeno gave Porto the lead, and all the hosts needed to do to advance from Group H alongside Barcelona was to avoid a loss at the Estadio do Dragao.
