PSG v Chelsea: Fans pick the best Paris player | OneFootball

On Wednesday at the Parc des Princes, Paris Saint-Germain claimed victory in the first leg of the 2025-2026 Champions League Round of 16 (return leg on March 17) against Chelsea with a score of 5-2 (video highlights PSG/Chelsea). As we do after every match now, we then asked our readers to vote for the best Parisian player of the game. João Neves (21-year-old midfielder) came out on top.

A very fine victory for Neves, whose assist for Bradley Barcola (23-year-old forward) on the opening goal was just a small part of his immense performance. His display was particularly outstanding on the defensive end, greatly limiting Cole Palmer’s influence on the game. His return has been a huge boost for PSG.

The introduction of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (25-year-old forward) also clearly deserved to be highlighted, with 2 goals and 1 assist in just 30 minutes. A brilliant move by the Georgian and coach Luis Enrique. To round out the podium, Barcola was obviously an excellent candidate as well, with a goal and great activity (including the pressing that led to the 3-2). Achraf Hakimi’s (27-year-old right-back) contribution was also interesting, even if it’s clear he’s not yet at 100%.

Thank you in any case for your votes. As a reminder, the podium from each match is then used to elect the player of the month.
