Paris Saint-Germain player warns Newcastle players that Kylian Mbappe and company are planning retaliation..
The midfielder for Paris Saint-Germain, Vitinha, says he and his teammates are determined to exact revenge on Newcastle in the Champions League.
The Magpies are currently in a less than ideal position as they attempt to advance to the round of sixteen after making their Champions League return for the first time in twenty years.

Newcastle’s season began with a 0-0 draw against AC Milan, but on matchday two, they shocked everyone by crushing PSG 4-1.

At a boisterous St. James’ Park, goals from Miguel Almiron, Dan Burn, Sean Longstaff, and Fabian Schar startled the French heavyweights.
After losing to Borussia Dortmund both at home and away, PSG is currently in second place in Group F. Newcastle, who are two points behind PSG in fourth place, could face difficult conditions in the rematch, which is set to be live on talkSPORT, if Vitinha’s comments are any indication.
Speaking in his pre-match press conference, he said: “We spoke after that match. We knew it was not a great result for us, of course. That was a very tough game and we know it’s another tough game tomorrow night awaiting us, but we still want to win.
Maybe we have that little revenge feeling, but that stays inside us. Tomorrow is going to be a show and that we win, that’s the most important thing.
We know it’s possible to qualify as fast as tomorrow, but we’re just trying to focus on this match and only on this match because the only way for us to qualify is to win, so that is what we are trying to focus on.
“We have to respect what the coach is asking of us and try to do everything to win this match and have a good standing in this group.”
Vitinha came off the bench at St. James’ Park in October so is fully aware of how PSG’s opposition could play on Tuesday night.
Defeat for Newcastle and a Milan win over Borussia Dortmund would see them head out of the Champions League with one group game to spare.
They would be demoted to the Europa League for a third-place result; they have not participated in the competition since 2013.
Newcastle, though, may feel more confident heading into their trip to the French city after defeating Chelsea 4-1 the previous weekend.
With the win, Eddie Howe’s team would also pass PSG, with three points separating first and last in Group F.
