PSG falter as Suarez leads Sporting to victory

On January 20, 2026, Sporting CP beat holders Paris St Germain 2-1 at Estadio Jose Alvalade in Lisbon as Luis Suarez scored twice, including a final-minute header.
Despite territorial control, Paris St Germain struggled to fashion clear chances, with VAR disallowing three goals including Warren Zaire‑Emery's after half an hour, while Sporting goalkeeper Rui Silva made key saves from Vitinha, Fabián Ruiz and Bradley Barcola.
Sporting created several promising opportunities as Marquinhos, PSG defender, twice missed headers and Ousmane Dembele, PSG forward, missed close-range three minutes before the break.
The defeat jeopardises Paris St Germain's bid to qualify directly for the Champions League last 16, reshuffling group standings and increasing pressure ahead of remaining fixtures.
In eight days, PSG face Newcastle United at home to avoid a two-legged playoff, while Sporting travel to Athletic Bilbao with both teams leading ninth-placed Inter by one point.
