From Milan Skriniar to Kylian Mbappé, a look back at the performances of the Parisian players during their defeat (1-2) against the Italian club on Tuesday.
Already the relapse. PSG suffered its second defeat in just four Champions League matches on Tuesday, November 7, losing to AC Milan (1-2). An opponent that he had corrected two weeks earlier on his lawn, at the Parc des Princes (3-0). As in Newcastle (1-4), Luis Enrique’s players were pushed around and experienced all the trouble in the world to exist. None of the outfield players lined up at kick-off escaped this wasted evening, with only Gianluigi Donnarumma having given satisfaction, in goal.
Gianluigi Donnarumma: 6.5/10
Under pressure for his return to Milan, where his departure has still not been digested, the Parisian goalkeeper had nothing to reproach himself for. He was neglected by his defense on the two Milan goals and ended the match with 6 saves, including a superb flight from a free kick from Théo Hernandez (63rd).
Achraf Hakimi: 2.5/10
We knew that the Moroccan was not the strongest defender in the Parisian squad. Faced with a Rafael Leao as twirling as he was sharp, he suffered martyrdom. On Giroud’s goal, he remained on the ground to try to influence the referee to call a foul, in vain.
Marquinhos: 4/10
No huge mistake on his part but still this impression that he is incapable of getting his teammates back on the right path despite his status as captain. Strangely more to its advantage in a more advanced position when Paris pushed in added time.
Milan Skriniar: 3.5/10
The evening started perfectly for him with an angry opening score, with a header (9th), against his fiercest rivals from his time at Inter. But the Slovak’s performance crumbled little by little. Moved in the duels by Rafael Leao, he was crushed in his aerial duel with Olivier Giroud on the 2-1 Milan goal (50th). The match could have ended earlier for him because of two fouls in a critical position (62nd, 83rd), but he miraculously escaped with only a yellow card. Replaced by Bradley Barcola (89th) on time for everything.
Lucas Hernandez: 3.5/10
Less exposed than its counterpart on the right side, it nevertheless did not succeed in highlighting itself. Non-existent in offensive animation. Replaced by Nordi Mukiele (65th).
Manuel Ugarte: 3/10
The usual warrior appeared unrecognizable. Dominated in duels and imprecise in his passes (10 duels and 8 lost balls in the first half), he disappointed for the first time this season. Replaced after the hour mark by Fabian Ruiz (60th).
Warren Zaire-Emery: 4.5/10
Even if he has been resplendent since October, the Parisian prodigy did not perform a miracle on Tuesday. It’s hard to blame him for not having put on the savior cape at 17. His intentions were good, but he lost most of his duels in an area where his pair with Manuel Ugarte was constantly outnumbered.
Vitinha: 4/10
His tenure was the only doubt in the eleven type and the Portuguese did not take the opportunity to score points. Clean in his choice of passes (94% success), he failed to advance the Parisian game in an evening where the environment did not exist. Replaced by Kang-In Lee (60th) who obtained the last Parisian opportunity on his own, with a superb slalom concluded by a hit on the post (89th).
Ousmane Dembélé: 4.5/10
As in Montpellier last Friday, he was the most prominent Parisian offensive player, but he disappeared at the same time as his team began to lose track. When it comes time to do the math, it’s difficult to give credit to his well-felt passes in the first quarter of an hour and his hit on the bar (27th). His forced crosses ended up taking over.
Randal Kolo Muani: 3/10
Although voluntary, the French international stood out above all for his approximate ball handling which hampered many Parisian offensives. A shot, blocked, in the 5th minute and a good pass for Kylian Mbappé twenty minutes later, but nothing more. Replaced by Gonçalo Ramos (60th).
Kylian Mbappé: 4/10
Rare enough to be noticed, we sometimes wondered where was the Kylian Mbappé who is used to shining in the big evenings of the Champions League in legendary stadiums. Very eccentric on his left side, he was only seen at the start of the first period and at the end of the match. Always capable of making differences, it only existed on a few extremely complicated solitary raids.
