PSG v Newcastle: Dan Burn praises Paris, takes a swipe at the referee | OneFootball

This Wednesday, as part of the 8th matchday of the 2025-2026 Champions League, Paris Saint-Germain faced Newcastle at the Parc des Princes. Dan Burn, the 33-year-old defender of the English team, stopped in the mixed zone after the 1-1 draw (video highlights PSG/Newcastle).

Burn: "the best team in the world"

A good result?

Yes, I think so. Coming to play against PSG, the reigning champions and, in my opinion, the best team in the world, and getting a draw, that makes us happy. I think in the last 15 to 20 minutes, we had some very good chances and maybe could have won. But the draw is probably a fair result.

Burn: "I thought it was pretty harsh."

Another 1-1 at the Parc, have you found the key?

(laughs) I'm not too sure about that. But I'm very happy. I think PSG started the match very well and got the penalty, which in my opinion isn't a penalty. I know the rules are different in Europe, but I thought it was pretty harsh. We started the match well, but we grew into the game. Coming here and getting a draw shows the work we've done as a team in recent years.

Did knowing you were at least qualified for the playoffs allow you to play more freely?

Yes, a little. We didn't talk about it, but we knew we would go through anyway. It's the first time we've made it through the league phase, we're very proud of this achievement.

Did you hope to win the match in the end?

Yes, especially in the last 20 minutes. We relied a lot on set pieces, which allowed us to score. Then, we knew that with Barnes, Gordon, and Wissa, we could play a bit higher up as PSG got tired. It's disappointing not to have been able to take those opportunities.
