This Sunday, in the 2026 Trophée des Champions, Paris Saint-Germain faced Lens at Stade Bollaert. After a match in which the Rouge et Bleu dominated but lacked efficiency, they went down 1-0. Here are our ratings for the Parisians.

Goalkeeper –

Matvey Safonov (5) – A quiet match, apart from the goal where he could do very little.

Defenders –

Achraf Hakimi (5.5) – You can tell he is not at his physical best; his runs forward lacked a bit of sharpness and he won slightly fewer defensive duels.

Ilya Zabarnyi (6.5) – A very solid match from the Ukrainian, who cut out several Lens counterattacks well.

Willian Pacho (6.5) – Fairly untroubled, the Ecuadorian was not put under pressure.

Lucas Digne (5.5) – Some fairly interesting runs forward, with a certain technical quality. It is a shame that none of his few crosses found a target. He was late getting to Thauvin on the goal conceded, even if it came from a miscued shot rather than a cross. Replaced by Nuno Mendes in the 59th minute.

Midfielders –

Vitinha (5.5) – Still very good at times on the ball, but he seems to lack a bit of freshness to dictate the tempo of the match. He could also dare more in attack.

Lucas Beraldo (6) – Some recoveries that did a lot of good and a few nice passes, but he will need to develop more initiative. Replaced by Fabian Ruiz in the 59th minute.

Warren Zaïre-Emery (6.5) – Tremendous work winning the ball back and moving it quickly. As often, he was just missing a little something offensively. Replaced by Dro Fernandez in the 81st minute.

Forwards –

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (6) – He created a lot and ran a lot, but lacked a bit of luck with his finishing. He could have been picked out several times when he was in a very good position. Replaced by Senny Mayulu in the 69th minute.

Maghnes Akliouche (6) – Already very interesting movement and some nice passes, while also pressing after losing the ball. We hope to see him become more and more incisive on the ball. At least he does not try to do too much. Replaced by Ousmane Dembélé in the 59th minute.

Désiré Doué (5.5) – Very good at times, but with a few poor decisions and overly complicated attempts. Still, you need to try things to create against a low block.

Coach –

Luis Enrique (6) – His team dominated and there were no injuries. But something was missing to get the win, and even to be more dangerous at 11 against 10.
