PSG/Bayern Munich – PSG ratings: Kvaratskhelia and Dembélé led the way! | OneFootball

This Tuesday, in the first leg of the 2025-2026 Champions League semi-final (return leg on May 6), Paris Saint-Germain faced Bayern Munich at the Parc des Princes. After a match in which the Red and Blues delivered a completely crazy performance, they won 5-4. Here are our ratings for the Parisians.

Goalkeeper –

Matvey Safonov (6) – A good first half. He could do little about the two goals. Very present and focused. Overall, a very complicated match against a Bayern Munich side that was hugely impressive going forward.

Defenders –

Achraf Hakimi (7) – He does not yet have the legs he had before his injury, but he keeps throwing himself into both defensive and attacking battles. Once again, he swept up his flank with formidable efficiency. A complete performance.

Marquinhos (5) – In the “big duels,” you can feel that he is increasingly lacking pace. Even so, he is still there in the big matches and brings a lot to the team. He defended a little too far from his direct opponents, and you could feel he struggled to finish the match.

Willian Pacho (5) – Less sharp in the duels, he made a few small mistakes, which seem fairly logical given how Bayern pressed in tight spaces with so much quality. Nevertheless, he was not as dominant in the first half as he has been in some of his best performances. A difficult match for him too, but Bayern Munich’s attacking strength has to be acknowledged.

Nuno Mendes (5) – Not exceptional against Olise in the first half. He struggled to contain his opponent properly. Even so, he has so much quality that he was also capable of hurting Bayern Munich. Under pressure against Olise, he showed that he may not quite be back to 100%, even if his opponent of the day is a top player with immense quality. Replaced by Lucas Hernandez in the 84th minute.

Midfielders –

Joao Neves (7) – Scored with a header, showed great energy, and had a fine first half. A complete match from him: intensity, desire, and a strong battle.

Vitinha (5.5) – He played deep, but managed to give his team some breathing room. He distributed the ball left and right, just as he does so well. He faded as the match went on, probably a little short physically.

Warren Zaïre-Emery (6.5) – Tough in the challenge, he showed character, and physically he did the team good in the first half. Working in the shadows, his role was mainly to make his power count in midfield, and he did his job. Replaced by Fabian Ruiz in the 64th minute.

Forwards –

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (8) – Another goal in a big match; he is so driven by his obsession with hurting opponents both offensively and defensively. However, he went off at half-time with a slight doubt over a possible injury. He scored twice and once again produced a great performance. Replaced by Senny Mayulu in the 84th minute.

Ousmane Dembélé (8) – He lacked composure on several occasions, but eventually scored from the penalty spot. In the rest of the match, he once again showed his huge desire to reach the Champions League final. He scored a second goal and led the way in a big match. He finished tired.

Désiré Doué (6) – Little flashes of genius, a few moments of being too individualistic; you can feel that he can bring the spark, even if in the first half he finished his moves in a rather disappointing way. He provided the assist for Kvaratskhelia’s goal, though it must be said he set the Georgian free well, even if he created the goal almost entirely by himself. He also assisted the fifth goal; the pass was not extraordinary, but he was there. Replaced by Bradley Barcola in the 70th minute.

Coach –

Luis Enrique (7) – To produce this kind of match against Bayern Munich shows that he knows very well what he is doing. There are still some reasons for disappointment, such as the fact his team did not manage to “calm” the game down. But once again, he delivered a quality match at the Parc des Princes.
