Nick Pope hailed for the 'save of his life' as the Newcastle goalkeeper makes an 'unbelievable' reaction stop to deny PSG an equaliser

Newcastle goalkeeper Nick Pope was hailed for making the 'save of his life' to protect his side's narrow 1-0 lead in the Champions League against Paris Saint-Germain.

Pope was called into action in the second half as PSG chased an equaliser after Alexander Isak put the Premier League side ahead at the Parc de Princes.

PSG looked to have levelled the match as Bradley Barcola turned Kylian Mbappe's cross goalwards.

Pope produced an astonishing reaction save, with the Newcastle goalkeeper blocking from close range to turn the short around the post.
