Wednesday at Parc des Princes, Paris Saint-Germain drew 1-1 against Newcastle (video summary PSG/Newcastle) on the 8th matchday of the 2025-2026 Champions League. Here are the ratings given by Le Parisien and L’Équipe to the players from the capital (find ours here). 

Le Parisien:

Barcola (4) – Dembélé (4) – Doué (4)

Zaïre-Emery (6) – Vitinha (7) – Neves (5)

Nuno Mendes (6) – Pacho (5) – Marquinhos (5) – Hakimi (5)

Safonov (6)

L’Equipe:

Luis Enrique – 5

Barcola (5) – Dembélé (4) – Doué (3)

Zaïre-Emery (6) – Vitinha (7) – Neves (5)

Nuno Mendes (5) – Pacho (6) – Marquinhos (4) – Hakimi (4)

Safonov (6)

No surprises in the ratings, PSG partly failed, and this is due to players who are still struggling to express themselves. This includes Barcola's clumsiness, Doué's complacency, and Neves and Hakimi who are rejoining the team. Added to this is Dembélé, who is far from his level of last year, giving a snapshot of what PSG is at the moment. This does not predict the future nor dismantle what has already been done, but at this moment, PSG needs to ask questions to regain its vigor.
