PSG/Arsenal – Paris player ratings: champions of Europe, again ! | OneFootball

This Saturday, in the 2025-2026 Champions League final, Paris Saint-Germain faced Arsenal at the Puskás Arena in Budapest. After a match in which the Red and Blues had to fight hard, they came out on top on penalties (1-1 after regular time, 4-3 on penalties). Here are our ratings for the Parisians.

Goalkeeper –

Matvey Safonov (6) – He was beaten on Havertz’s goal, but aside from that, his first half was fairly easy to deal with as Arsenal offered little going forward. Hardly any chances came his way in the second half.

Defenders –

Achraf Hakimi (5) – A frustrating first half for him, often doubling up with Dembélé in the crowd of English players. He did not shine any more after the break, but he did stretch the English side on the right.

Marquinhos (7) – Focused and composed, he played high up the pitch and defended well on a good Arsenal chance late in the first half. He showed that he still has the level for this kind of big match. Substituted in the 105th minute for Ilya Zabarnyi.

Willian Pacho (6) – He did not have much to do, which is paradoxical for a Champions League final. Overall, he was less inspired than Marquinhos.

Nuno Mendes (5) – He produced a few brief flashes of power, a weapon PSG used too little in the first half. Very quiet overall.

Midfielders –

Joao Neves (7) – He struggled to get into the game, especially in his use of the ball. A fairly difficult first half. A great second half made up for it. He was far more incisive, more accurate and more aggressive in the press.

Vitinha (6.5) – He got on the ball a lot, but few of those touches really led to anything. His first half lacked boldness and decision-making. He took more control of the game in the second half. Substituted in the 105th minute for Lucas Beraldo.

Fabian Ruiz (6.5) – One of PSG’s best players, very mobile and involved in the best moments. He showed how much he brings to the team. He made his football intelligence count.

Forwards –

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (6) – Virtually anonymous in the first half. Much better in the second half, he was involved in the goal and won the penalty. Substituted in the 83rd minute.

Ousmane Dembélé (6) – This was not the Dembélé from the last Champions League final. He seemed less comfortable against this low block. A first half that left a bitter taste. He scored the penalty, which is no small feat. Replaced by Gonçalo Ramos in the 96th minute.

Désiré Doué (6) – Fairly incisive, sometimes too much so, he mixed the brilliant with the sloppy. His first half lacked spark. He was less able to impose himself than in his biggest performances. But he has so much quality that his matches are never straightforward.

Coach –

Luis Enrique (10) – Inevitably a frustrating final for him. He saw his team misfire for a long time and come up against a perfectly well-drilled block. But above all, his team stayed confident and calm to win a second straight European title. That is priceless.
