Lyon v PSG – Vitinha, Chevalier, Zabarnyi… heroes and villains! | OneFootball

This Sunday evening, Paris Saint-Germain won 2-3 (video summary Lyon/PSG) against Olympique Lyonnais as part of the 12th day of Ligue 1 2025-2026 at Groupama Stadium. We present to you the tops and flops of this victory.

Tops –

❤️ Vitinha

The 25-year-old midfielder continues to impress with his full range of skills, including his passing quality. There’s the decisive one for Warren Zaïre-Emery, and a few other “gems.” Notably, a half-volley to switch the play. Not to forget his defensive activity and his defensive tackle on the second Parisian goal. Unfortunately, he sometimes seems a bit alone in creation at the moment.

Determination and set pieces to move forward.

PSG faces more obstacles than last season in Ligue 1, but they have resources. Against Nice last Saturday and this time in Lyon, they don’t give up to manage to take the 3 points. This also involves corners with PSG being much more dangerous this season on set pieces. It was Gonçalo Ramos last week, this time it’s João Neves who is found.

Flops –

😡Lucas Chevalier.

It takes time, adaptation, we know. But the observation is clear: his start to the season is a disappointment. There is a clean foot game, without making it a huge weapon (as we have seen Manuel Neuer against PSG, for example). Above all, almost all dangerous conceded chances result in goals. There is a lack of decisive saves and even... saves. Here, there are at least 2 questionable placements and aerial exits that are not reassuring. He will need to succeed in getting out of the negative spiral.

Ilya Zabarnyi

The 23-year-old defender is the other PSG recruit this summer and adaptation will be considered for him too. Even if the interesting beginnings suggested it would be quick. The Ukrainian has lost strength in duels and confidence, in passes as well as interventions. The example of his almost handball on a corner is striking.
