🔍 Tactical analysis and individual performance

PSG dominated ball possession – with about 77% in the first half, the Parisian team dictated the pace of the game and controlled the spaces. The strategy was based on overloads in the middle and flanks, seeking to open passing lines and exploit the back of the opponent's defense – especially on the left colchonera side, a traditional weak point.

Dominant midfield – Vitinha was the Parisian maestro, orchestrating fluidity and creativity: he scored the second goal on a counter-attack and was elected "Man of the Match". Warren Zaïre‑Emery reinforced solidity, distributing precise passes and recovering balls intelligently

Insipid Atletico performance – Simeone would have aimed for defensive compactness, but saw his team disorganized especially on the flanks (Javi Galán and Lino did not work). The expulsion of Clément Lenglet (two yellows) in the 78' contributed to the downfall in the second half.

Individual ratings (average based on various outlets):

Vitinha (PSG): 9.0 – engaging, incisive, decisive;
Fabián Ruiz (PSG): 8.0 – opened the scoring with a beautiful shot from outside the area.
Senny Mayulu (PSG): 7.5 – young, opportunist, scored the third goal at 19 years old.
Lee Kang‑in (PSG): 7.0 – converted penalty at the end.
Oblak (Atletico): 5.5 – regular, little demanded.
Galán/Lino (Atletico): 4.0 – costly to defensive negligence.
Lenglet (Atletico): 4.5 – sent off, weakening the defensive system.

✅ Two positive aspects

PSG's collective organization – high possession and minimal rush formed the basis for efficient counterattacks, with overload and triangulations.
Emerging talents – Vitinha and the revelation Mayulu showed maturity and technical quality, pointing to a great future.

❌ Two negative aspects

Atletico's vulnerable defense – exposed flanks, inefficient coverage, and expulsion hampered any reaction.
Schedule and weather conditions – game under excessive heat and inconvenient time caused wear and divisions regarding safety and performance.
