Bayern/PSG – PSG ratings: Zaïre-Emery shines, Kvara and Pacho lead! | OneFootball

This Wednesday, in the second leg of the 2025-2026 Champions League semi-final, Paris Saint-Germain faced Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena. After a match in which the Rouge et Bleu suffered but prevented Bayern from turning it into an end-to-end contest, they ultimately came away with a 1-1 draw (6-5 on aggregate). Here are our ratings for the Parisians.

Goalkeeper –

Matvey Safonov (7) – A very good first half; he made the saves he had to. At times, his distribution was a concern, as was his tendency to come a long way off his line. Still, he fully lived up to expectations.

Defenders –

Warren Zaïre-Emery (8) – He went through some difficult moments, but he also produced a very fine first half. He knew how to play high up the pitch while also defending well. A strong performance that showed all the talent he possesses. He replaced Hakimi perfectly.

Marquinhos (7) – He played very close to Luis Diaz in the first half. He was highly focused and generally dominant. He kept his direct opponents in check. Despite the criticism, he showed that he remains a truly reliable presence.

Willian Pacho (8) – A very good opening half, very aggressive and strong in duels. His anticipation snuffed out many Bayern opportunities. He was quite brilliant throughout the match.

Nuno Mendes (6) – A very early yellow card, then a first half in which he managed Olise better. He also came close to being sent off, only to be spared by a Munich handball. Even so, he showed character. In the end, he handled this second leg better than the first. Replaced in the 85th minute by Senny Mayulu.

Midfielders –

Joao Neves (7) – Tactically excellent, he won the ball back a lot and gave the midfield a real boost. He even had a good headed chance. He did plenty of defending; a big performance from him.

Vitinha (7) – He looked very calm and very assured, though perhaps he lacked some range. Often too far from the attacking players, he was unable to produce his usual passes, but he clearly knew how to slow the game down at various moments. Like his fellow midfielders, he was also very good. He may not have shone going forward as much as usual, but his role was crucial.

Fabian Ruiz (7) – A very good first half. Present, solid defensively, and decisive for the goal, he showed why his presence is such a real asset for Paris. A very good match, replaced by Lucas Beraldo in the 76th minute.

Forwards –

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (7) – How remarkable he is. A real “bull,” technically very clean and proactive. He came up big again in a key match. He caused problems for the Munich players, both defensively and offensively.

Ousmane Dembélé (6) – A paradoxical match for him. He scored, which was his main attacking contribution; aside from that, he played fairly deep and did not have a huge influence in the first half. He dropped in intensity and was eventually replaced by Bradley Barcola in the 65th minute.

Désiré Doué (6) – A little too casual. He needs to understand that there are matches to “shine” technically and others where you need to know how to do the simple things. He has to learn that if he tries something, it’s because he’s going to pull it off. Against him, Bayern do not forgive the slight nonchalance he sometimes shows. In the end, he did manage to get chances. Lacking end product, he made way for Lucas Hernandez in the 76th minute.

Coach –

Luis Enrique (7) – What a coach. Another great performance from his team, showing tremendous resilience. A clear desire not to let the game open up, to lull Bayern to sleep. He is showing a consistency at the highest level that is almost indecent.
