On Wednesday at the Parc des Princes, Paris Saint-Germain drew in the 8th round of the 2025-2026 Champions League against Newcastle with a score of 1-1 (video highlights PSG/Newcastle). As we do after every match now, we then asked our readers to vote for the best Parisian player of the game. Vitinha (25-year-old midfielder) came out on top.

A victory without much surprise, even though Warren Zaïre-Emery (19-year-old midfielder) seemed to be a strong contender with yet another very solid match. The Parisian youth product added some beautiful passes, including one that almost proved decisive by setting up Ousmane Dembélé (28-year-old forward) in the box. But Vitinha directed the play and scored a very nice goal, which left a strong impression.
Behind him, Bradley Barcola (23-year-old forward) was clearly the most dangerous attacker. He is still frustrating in his finishing, but that’s already much better than Désiré Doué (20 years old), who seems a bit lost at the moment. Meanwhile, Dembélé remains too inconsistent.
One might have thought that Nuno Mendes (23-year-old left-back) would be a bit higher, but there’s nothing “shocking” about the result either.
Thank you in any case for your votes. As a reminder, the podium from each match is then used for the election of the player of the month.
