Tuesday at Stamford Bridge, Paris Saint-Germain won 0-3 against Chelsea (video highlights Chelsea/PSG, 8-2 on aggregate, quarter-final to play against Liverpool or Galatasaray) in the second leg of the 2025-2026 Champions League Round of 16 (PSG won 5-2 in the first leg). Here are the ratings given by Le Parisien and L’Équipe to the players from the capital (find ours here). 

Le Parisien:

Kvaratkshelia (7.5) – Dembélé (5) – Barcola (7)

Neves (6) Mayulu (6.5) – Vitinha (6) – Zaïre-Emery (7)

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

Safonov (7.5)

L’Equipe:

Luis Enrique  – 8

Kvaratkshelia (7) – Dembélé (5) – Barcola (7)

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

Nuno Mendes (6) – Pacho (6) – Marquinhos (7) – Hakimi (6)

Safonov (8)

Not much to criticize about the ratings, except that obviously some impressions come through more than others. What stands out is that Safonov was excellent, as was the rest of the team. Kvaratskhelia, Barcola, and Zaïre-Emery were very good, and the other players did their job without any issues. We saw a team, a collective that, this time more than usual lately, expressed itself defensively in a surgical manner. No goals conceded, a good goalkeeper, and forwards who score—nothing was missing, since even in midfield, we find players who had a very good match.
