Leverkusen v PSG: Paris ratings, Doué, Dembélé, Mendes shine | OneFootball

This Tuesday, during the 3rd matchday of the 2025-2026 Champions League, Paris Saint-Germain faced Bayer Leverkusen at the BayArena. After a match in which the Red and Blue largely dominated, they won 2-7. Here are our ratings for the Parisians.

Goalkeeper –

Lucas Chevalier (6) – Suffice it to say he had no saves to make in the first half. On the first penalty, he dived perfectly, and on the second, there was nothing he could do. On Bayer's second goal, he was absolutely helpless.

Defenders –

Achraf Hakimi (6) – A decent first half, nothing spectacular. He played high up, did his job, calmly.

Ilya Zabarnyi (1) – His match was disastrous. Yellow card, red card, he conceded both penalties. He needs to refocus.

Willian Pacho (7) – He scored the first goal, was solid on his line. He doesn’t mess around with the ball when it’s dangerous. A great second half, showing real leadership.

Nuno Mendes(7) – An interesting first half at times. He didn’t push the limits. Still, he provided the decisive assist for Pacho’s goal, a pinpoint cross. Scoring in the second half, he started to press and sink this struggling German team even further.

Midfielders –

Warren Zaïre-Emery (6.5) – In his current form, aggressive, attentive, and powerful. Another good match for him in midfield. Replaced by Quentin Ndjantou in the 76th minute.

Vitinha (8) – He had a surprisingly “average” first half. That’s the feeling, but in reality, he shone as always, winning all his duels and playing with ease. He capped off PSG’s almost perfect performance with a goal in his signature style.

Senny Mayulu (6) – He’s really starting to find his place in this team. His presence is no longer “strange,” and he proved it again this Tuesday night. Replaced by Lee Kang-in in the 63rd minute.

Forwards –

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (6.5) – He doesn’t always make the right choices, but he always plays to hurt the opponent. His goal rewards his boundless opportunism. Replaced by Ousmane Dembélé in the 63rd minute.

Bradley Barcola (6) – A decent half, he was a bit overshadowed by his attacking partners. He wasn’t able to use his speed to hurt the opposition as usual. Still, he provided a nice assist to Dembélé on his return. Replaced in the 72nd minute by Ibrahim Mbaye.

Désiré Doué (8) – What can we say about Doué, an exceptional rise. His brace shows just how much he has become a player who can change any match. The opponent can’t be at ease with a player like him around. Replaced at halftime by Lucas Hernandez (6.5) – Solid, his comeback is confirmed with each appearance. He’s playing more and it shows in his confidence.

Coach –

Luis Enrique (7) – If we didn’t like the dull periods in PSG’s first half, neither did he. However, far from being discouraged by all these mistakes, his team constantly and resolutely gets back to work to resume their forward march.
