PSG formation and tactics resulted in a lot of low chance, quick strike shots. Newcastle formation and tactics yielded very few shots. Can't tell you any more than that from the info provided.
But, I'm guessing you think you should have won because you have a scout team. All those stars and SAs should guarantee a win? LOL

Stars mean nothing. Those 3 and 4 star players could be 5 and 6 star quality in key skills. Even if they aren't, the skill difference between 6 stars (54) and 4 stars (44) isn't THAT great (about 20%)
So figure roughly a 25-30% total advantage (reflected in the possession advantage) countered by better tactics (3x more shots), makes it close to a tossup. So why would a draw be all that surprising? Even without a PSG tactical advantage, Newcastle at best would have what? 80-85% probability of winning?
