Overview
- Sporting CP beat PSG 2-1 in Lisbon with Luis Suárez scoring in the 74th and 90th minutes after Paris dominated possession and attempts but lacked precision.
- PSG dropped to fifth on 13 points and now needs a win over Newcastle next week to avoid February play-offs, with several rivals able to overtake on goal difference.
- Illia Zabarnyi’s misread pass and Lucas Chevalier’s rebound preceded Suárez’s winner, while Luis Enrique defended his players and called the outcome “very unjust.”
- Real Madrid thrashed Monaco 6-1 as Kylian Mbappé struck twice, handing ASM its heaviest European defeat and intensifying scrutiny of coach Sébastien Pocognoli.
- Separately, Spanish reports say Atlético Madrid is pursuing PSG’s Kang-In Lee and Gonçalo Ramos, with PSG indicated as reluctant sellers and Mateu Alemany observed scouting.
