Bis repeated. For the shock of its Champions League group, Paris-Saint-Germain failed to get rid of Benfica Lisbon (1-1), Tuesday, October 11, as six days ago. Despite a Kylian Mbappé scorer and a Neymar in the legs, the Parisians were joined in the score after a penalty conceded by Marco Verratti.
Gianluigi Donnarumma: 4.5/10
Imperial in Lisbon, the Italian goalkeeper had less success at the Parc des Princes. Still just as reassuring at the foot, the goalkeeper left the wrong way on the penalty from Joao Mario (62nd). A frustrating evening for the European champion.
Sergio Ramos: 5/10
Excluded from Reims last Saturday (0-0), Sergio Ramos showed no signs of nervousness. Some good interventions and reminders are to the credit of the Spanish defender.
Marquinhos: 5/10
The Parisian captain struggled to enter his match, before getting in tune with his teammates. If the Brazilian still does not display the serenity of recent seasons, no error is to be deplored on his part.
Danilo Pereira: 6/10
Even if he does not play in his favorite position, the Portuguese continues to do the job without complaining. Disputing each ball with the same desire, Danilo Pereira also distinguished himself by beautiful openings.
Ashraf Hakimi: 4.5/10
Discreet in the first half, the right piston benefited from Kylian Mbappé’s dezoning to show off a little more in the second act. If Achraf Hakimi serves the Parisian number 7 on his big chance (52nd), he then lacked precision on his crosses, but also sometimes lacked authority in defense.
Vitinha: 5/10
As a worker in the shadows, Vitinha has retained his important activity in the midfield, without being flamboyant either. Some inaccuracies in the transmissions are to be noted for the Portuguese. Replaced by Fabian Ruiz (85th)which did not come forward any further.
Marco Veratti: 4/10
A match at the antipodes for the Italian midfielder. In all the good shots in the first period, it was he who recovered and then gave a magnificent ball to Juan Bernat on the Parisian penalty. But it is he who is at fault on Rafa Silva (61st), who offers the equalizing ball to Benfica, in a match where Paris has never trembled. Warned, “Little Owl” will miss the next Champions League match against Maccabi Haifa
John Bernat: 5.5/10
Replacing Nuno Mendes at the left piston position, the Spaniard has gained momentum. Little put in difficulty defensively, Juan Bernat owins the penalty converted by Kylian Mbappé (38th). A little out of pace, he’s replaced by Nordi Mukiele (85th).
Neymar: 6.5/10
The Brazilian assumed his role as conductor in the absence of Lionel Messi. Neymar ignited the Parc des Princes with well-felt dribbles and crosses, before being undermined by numerous Portuguese fouls.
Pablo Sarabia: 3/10
For his first start in the Champions League, the Spaniard did not make the weight with only 21 balls touched and a strike easily captured by Odisseas Vlachodimos (34th). Pablo Sarabia also received a yellow card for a high foot on Alejando Grimaldo (29th). Replaced by Hugo Ekitike (74th)which is still struggling to weigh on the Parisian attack.
Kylian Mbappe: 7/10
He knew he was expected. At the heart of the news in recent hours, the French world champion has emptied himself and shown himself to his advantage on his overflows and his dribbling. Imperturbable from the penalty spot (40th), the neo-top scorer in the history of PSG in the Champions League narrowly missed the break on a shot off target (52nd). Hit in the ankle by a violent tackle, the Bondynois gave way to Carlos Soler (90th) in the last moments.
