The ratings of the Parisian players:
Gianluigi Donnarumma (7) : Concentrated, the Parisian door first released a parade to push the ball onto Sterling’s crossbar (25e), before capturing the leather on a heavy strike from Cancelo (30e), then a cross shot from Silva (34e). He was called upon one last time before the break on a header from Dias (43e). He then had to intervene in front of de Bruyne (54e) then to the 78e
in front of Mahrez.
Achraf Hakimi (5) : Lhe Moroccan was able to find the gap to find Mbappé on Gueye’s goal, but he was unable to bring more offensively. He was, however, stronger than his comrade Mendes.
Marks (5): Correct match of the Parisian captain will have been more serene than his partner in hinge.
Presnel Kimpembe (4): He made a mistake in the surface in the first period that could have cost him dearly, before being beaten in the air by Dias (43e). He made a good intervention in front of Mahrez in the second half just before Messi’s goal.
Nuno Mendes (5): Despite a nice intervention in front of Mahrez in the area (21e), the Portuguese was too often beaten one-on-one against the Algerian. He was very little in sight offensively even though he was more confident in the second period.
Idrissa Gueye (7): Strong defensively and comfortable in front of goal this season, Gana Gueye has once again shaken the nets. His activity and his physical impact will have done a lot of good for PSG. Very serious match in the Parisian milieu which will have been omnipresent tonight. He was replaced by Danilo in the 90e.
Marco Verratti (6): Well in leg in the first half hour, just like his team, he regaled the Parc de Princes with his technique with his balls coming out. Little Owl then went down in regime. He was replaced by Wijnaldum at the 77e.
Ander Herrera (5): MIn view of Gueye and Verratti, the Spaniard was discreet tonight. His shot was easily repelled by Ederson in the first period.
Lionel Messi (6) : Despite a few balls lost in the first period, the Argentinian knew how to ventilate the game when it was necessary by his quality of passes. More discreet thereafter, he woke up twenty minutes from time to score his first goal with PSG after a good stint with Mbappé. His agreement with the latter will have given some slight satisfactions.
Kylian Mbappé (5) : Very strong at the start of the match, it is he who sends a good cross on Gueye’s goal. More discreet thereafter, it gradually faded away.
Neymar (4) : Below his two attacking friends, the Brazilian did not know how to raise his level of play to mark the meeting. He will have been almost invisible tonight.
