Monaco v PSG: Vitinha shines, Paris strikers flop in ratings | OneFootball

Saturday at Stade Louis II, Paris Saint-Germain was defeated 1-0 by Monaco (PSG/Monaco video summary) during the 14th day of Ligue 1 2025-2026. Here are the ratings given by Le Parisien and L’Équipe to the players from the capital (find ours here). 

Le Parisien:

Kvaratskhelia (4.5) – Mayulu (3.5) – Lee (4)

Ruiz (3.5) – Vitinha (5.5) – Neves (4)

Hernandez (4) – Pacho (4.5) – Marquinhos (5) – Zaïre-Emery (4)

Chevalier (5.5)

L’Equipe:

Luis Enrique – 3

Kvaratskhelia (3) – Mayulu (3) – Lee (4)

Ruiz (5) – Vitinha (6) – Neves (3)

Hernandez (4) – Pacho (3) – Marquinhos (4) – Zaïre-Emery (4)

Chevalier (5)

L’Équipe did not just give out bad ratings after Monaco-PSG: they reflect a match where Paris was dominated in all aspects, and the context further intensifies the harshness of the judgment. Monaco was coming off three defeats but approached this meeting as a much-needed rebound, with constant pressing that cut Paris off from its game. Result: the three forwards never found space or rhythm, which perfectly matches the offensive inefficiency seen on the field.

In the midfield, the contrast is stark: Vitinha (6) stands out for L’Equipe but the other two were overwhelmed, proving that Monaco's intensity deprived Paris of its usual engine. The defense suffers the same fate: Hernandez, Marquinhos, and Zaïre-Emery couldn’t stabilize the block, while Pacho (3) had a very difficult match, symbolizing a defense shaken and deprived of bearings due to current absences.

Even Luis Enrique receives a 3, logically due to an unsteady game plan, a lack of adaptability, and a PSG too timid in a context that was favorable on paper (what about Ramos and Barcola). Chevalier made no mistakes, but changed almost nothing either. The press ratings are not just an individual verdict: they highlight a real collective problem, between lack of intensity, tactical imbalance, and inability to respond to a hungry Monaco team.
