The capital clash kicked off in dramatic fashion as Lewis Miley was adjudged to have handled the ball in his own area and, following a pitchside review, Slovenian official Slavko Vincic pointed to the spot. However, Ousmane Dembele's effort was palmed away by Nick Pope.
Pope could to little to prevent PSG from going ahead moments later, however, as Vitinha showed great composure to tuck into the bottom corner from the edge of the box. The Magpies shot-stopper endured a busy start to the night as he was also on hand to deny Dembele and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia in quick succession to keep Newcastle in the tie.
Eddie Howe's side rode out the storm and grew into the game before Willock powered a header past Matvey Safonov having been set up brilliantly by Dan Burn on the stroke of half-time.
Jacob Ramsey tested Safonov shortly after the break with some fine footwork as Newcastle began to impose themselves. However, the Magpies left gaps at the back and it took a late Sven Botman block to keep Achraf Hakimi from testing Pope.
Willock then thought he had added his and Newcastle's second following a quick free-kick, but was just offside when the ball was played. Anthony Gordon and Ramsey both also had chances to fire Newcastle in front, the latter denied by a fine Marquinhos block, while PSG also threatened in an end-to-end finale in the capital.
Substitute Harvey Barnes missed from close range late on after a mazy Gordon run that would have surely won the game for Newcastle, as the spoils were ultimately shared in France.
