Barcelona 1-2 PSG player ratings: Marcus Rashford impresses again in electric Champions League clash | OneFootball

Barcelona lost out to Paris Saint-Germain in their eagerly-anticipated Champions League clash at the Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys. Here’s how their players fared in Montjuic.

Player ratings

Wojciech Szczesny – 6

Not entirely convincing, but could do little about PSG’s two goals.

Jules Kounde – 6.5

Good first half, but like many of his teammates, struggled massively in the second.

Eric Garcia – 7

Barcelona’s best defender, and it is perhaps no surprise that PSG scored their second goal after he came off with a knock.

Pau Cubarsi – 6.5

Made a couple of important challenges, but aside of that, not at his best.

Gerard Martin – 6

Struggled to deal with Bradley Barcola at times.

Frenkie de Jong – 6

A disappointing performance from de Jong after a fantastic run of form. He struggled to gain control of the midfield in the second period, as he was bested by the likes of Vitinha and Fabian Ruiz.

Pedri – 7

Good performance from Pedri, who was withdrawn earlier than usual by Hansi Flick.

Lamine Yamal – 7

Fantastic in the first half, but very quiet in the second – understandable given that he is returning from injury.

Dani Olmo – 6

Still struggling with consistency. He was poor here, summed up by a big miss in the second half that would have put Barcelona 2-1 up.

Marcus Rashford – 7.5

A constant menace to the PSG backline. He provided the assist for Barcelona’s goal.

Ferran Torres – 6.5

Scored, but also missed a big chance minutes before. Aside of those moments, he was quiet.

Substitutes

Alejandro Balde – 6

Barcelona will be delighted to have him back from injury, although he was sluggish in his cameo – as to be expected, given he hasn’t played for several weeks.

Marc Casado – 6

Got himself about, albeit without much success.

Robert Lewandowski – 6

Didn’t have a sniff after coming on.

Marc Bernal – 6

Didn’t do much during his 15 minutes on the pitch.

Andreas Christensen – 6

Little time to make an impact, although PSG did score after he came on.
