PSG's best player for August has been chosen! | OneFootball

At the end of Paris Saint-Germain’s matches during the month of August, as we always do now (based on the podium finishes in the player of the match vote), we asked you to vote for the “player of the month.” Marquinhos (32-year-old defender) came out on top.

As a reminder, the matches in August were:

Mallorca/PSG (3-0), PSG/Manchester United (1-1), PSG/Aston Villa (2-1), Lens/PSG (1-0), Rennes/PSG (2-2), Lille/PSG (2-2), PSG/Monaco (1-2).

PSG’s player of the month for August:

A narrow win, but not a particularly surprising one. Marquinhos managed to be in pretty good defensive form right away, and he added two goals on top of that. That always leaves an impression. Even more so during a period of major attacking inefficiency.

We are actually a little surprised to find an attacker on the podium, even though Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (25) was very good against Aston Villa, he was rather disappointing afterward in August, even though a lot was expected from a player who was not at the World Cup.

There is also a slight lack of players who were in good form over the long run. Warren Zaïre-Emery (20-year-old midfielder) could have finished higher thanks to his consistency. But defensive work tends to stick less in people’s minds. There was also a mixed spell filling in on the left side of the defense.

Thank you for your votes, and we would like to point out that the podium finishes for these “player of the month” awards will count toward the best player of the season title, since a player will need to have finished on the podium at least once to be among the nominees.
