After Juventus – PSG / The notes of the Parisians: Air Mbappé, Magic Neymar

Gianluigi Donnarumma: 5

Like a bad memory from Madrid, it was he who relaunched the match with an exit from a corner with his feet sunk in concrete (57th). A big dumpling which taints a match, moreover, successful with two parades at close range on Milik (19th) then Vlahovic (57th).

  • And bref… Efficient on his line, clumsy in his outings. Insufficient.

Should the Donnarumma-Navas debate be revived? “There is a shadow…”

Achraf Hakimi : 6

His decisive pass and his movement are perfect on the second Parisian goal. Less visible than Nuno Mendes on the offensive phases, the Moroccan made the gesture at just the right time. Endangered enough, he has generally mastered his lane.

  • and bref… Discreet but decisive.

Replaced by Nordi Mukiele (78th).

What is the PSG transfer window worth? “The best recruit is Galtier”

Sergio Ramos: 5.5

He plays in an armchair. Rarely caught out, the man with four Champions Leagues knows himself perfectly. He feels the game and does a lot of good in his depth reading and his sense of anticipation. More in difficulty in the air where he is crunched by Milik on the first opportunity for Juve (18th).

  • and bref… By his hand. Sometimes too much.

Marquinhos: 5

If Paris has shuddered too many times on the Turin incursions, the captain of the Parisian defense has his share of responsibility as on this duel lost in the air against Vlahovic (57th). He sometimes lacked authority even if his important comeback in front of the Serbian striker in the money time (83rd) saved the day.

  • and bref… Less sovereign.

Marquinhos: ‘A two-sided game’

Presnel Kimpembe: 5.5

He too already has more confidence in his interventions even if he maintained a constant level without major error. There remains an impression of being almost too easy.

  • and bref… At least he didn’t make a mistake.

Nuno Mendes : 4

In defense, he generally leaves his direct opponents too much time to cross. This was the case on the two biggest occasions for Juve where the danger came from his side. Beaten to a duel by Mckennie on the goal of Juve, he lived a delicate evening. Even if he still gives off so much power when he takes his lane.

  • and bref… Too many mistakes.

“This PSG is still too light to aim for the final victory”

Marco Verratti: 7

The Italian is the architect of the second Parisian goal since it is he who finds the space and triggers the ballet. Like his light ball exit (58th), he further enlightened the Parisian game even if he suffered a little more after the break against the rediscovered aggressiveness of the Rabiot-Paredes midfielder.

  • and bref…so tough.

Replaced by Renato Sanches (86e).

Vitinha: 6.5

He is not the one we see the most, he will not have his place in the best moments of the match but you have to see him compensate and run constantly to balance the collective. In the first period, he drove Juve crazy with his high volume of play. More discreet after the break.

  • And bref… Already essential.

Replaced by Danilo Pereira (78e).

Lionel Messi: 6

It took him 45 minutes to really weigh in on the hot shares of PSG. But once the machine was launched, he regaled. We will remember, among other things, his fantastic ball for Mbappé (52nd) after resisting the charge of two Turinese, and his second offering for the world champion a few moments later (64th).

And bref… A second period that would have deserved at least one assist.

Replaced by Carlos Soler (84e) under the deserved acclamations of the Park.

World Cup, ego: why is Neymar so strong at the start of the season?

Neymar : 7,5

What can happen to PSG with a Neymar at this level? Of course, we will remember his luminous ladle for Mbappé. But it is first of all he who makes this PSG play with so much ease. He makes everything simpler thanks to such fair game orientations as on this wonderful heel for Messi (64th). And, among the three stars, he is the one who sacrifices himself the most in his defensive races.

And bref… Unplayable.

Kylian Mbappe: 8

Two small masterpieces, once again, to ensure Parisian victory. A volley full of power and precision and a recovery, even more difficult, like a stab… Each time he touches the ball, a shiver runs through the Park. Too bad he completely forgot Neymar after a 40-meter race (52nd). If he misses the hat-trick with a shot that is too crossed or misplaced (90th), how can you hold it against him in an evening like this?

And bref… The TGV Mbappé.
