Rice Gets 7.5, Raya With 7 | Arsenal Players Rated In Tough Loss Vs Paris Saint-Germain | OneFootball

Arsenal entertained Paris Saint-Germain at the Emirates Stadium earlier tonight as they hoped to secure a good result at home in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League semifinal tie. The Gunners made a slow start to the game and conceded the opening goal in the fourth minute when Ousmane Dembele scored with a superb finish. Mikel Arteta’s men failed to come up with a response and went into the half-time break 1-0 down on the scoreline.

The North London club tried their best to find the leveler in the second half but ended up suffering a tough 1-0 loss at the Emirates.

Let’s take a look at how each Arsenal player fared during the clash against PSG.

GK: David Raya – 7/10

Raya made a couple of solid saves at the back but couldn’t do much about Dembele’s finish early in the game.

RB: Jurrien Timber – 6.5/10

He earned the ball back twice but offered very little in the final third.

CB: William Saliba – 6.5/10

Saliba put his foot through the ball when required and was good on the ball.

CB: Jakub Kiwior – 6/10

He failed to keep things solid at the back but was a threat at the other end of the field.

Lewis-Skelly was strong on the ball and had a couple of lively moments in the PSG half.

CM: Martin Odegaard – 6/10

He engineered one decent chance in the final third but never looked like he would score.

CM: Declan Rice – 7.5/10

Rice anchored the midfield well and orchestrated a couple of inviting chances for his teammates to score.

CM: Mikel Merino – 6.5/10

He made two good opportunities in the final third but failed to register a goal.

RW: Bukayo Saka – 7/10

Saka made a few dangerous runs with the ball but was left frustrated in front of the opposition goal.

He went close to scoring in the second half and was denied by a superb save from Gianluigi Donnarumma.

LW: Gabriel Martinelli – 6/10

Martinelli got himself into some promising positions but lacked quality inside the PSG penalty area.
