Installed in a 3-4-3 system unprecedented this season, PSG has struggled to impose its game and suffered a lot on the lawn of Dortmund. He also experienced major individual failures.
Navas: 6. The porter kept the PSG afloat for a long time. He throws himself to the ground to intercept a tense center in Sancho (24th). Three minutes later, he was masked at the start of the English coiled strike but succeeded in an authoritarian parade (27th). If he can not do much on Haaland's goal (69th), he courageously dives into the feet of the Norwegian (74th). The Costa Rican can however sketch a gesture on the ball of the phenomenon of 19 years under the bar (2-1, 77th).
Marquinhos: 5. The Brazilian was sober and authoritarian without endangering himself. If he lacked precision in his long game, he did not make any major mistakes.
Thiago Silva: 3. He lowered the block over the course of the match and had difficulties when he had to defend by backing up. He returned perfectly to cut a center of Hakimi (49th) but is too far from Haaland on the goal of the Norwegian (1-0, 69th). On his second goal, he gives him plenty of time to arm his shot ... (2-1, 77th).
Kimpembe: 5. The French international brought useful physical density to face Haaland and Hazard. His propensity to take risks made his teammates shiver, but also allowed him to cause some lags. Poorly placed on the second goal.
Miller: 6. Very attentive in his defensive tasks where he dealt with two clients with Sancho and Guerreiro, he was reassuring. That didn't stop him from proposing a lot in his corridor without creating any real danger. He will be suspended for the return match.

Kurzawa: 4.5. He brought speed in his lane and always made sure to offer a pass solution to Neymar. A decisive intervention to come to counter in extremis an attempt by Can (27th) to his credit but he leaves boulevards behind him and covers the offside on the opening of the score.
Gueye: 3. A missed match with uncomfortable interventions and ultra-dangerous ball losses. He never appeared in the rhythm of a match of this intensity. His backward passes have too often slowed the game.
Verratti: 7. Particularly put under pressure by the middle of Borussia to prevent it from reviving, it came out of it by its always delicious technique. But he also proposed a dirtier game than usual and was breathtaking to come and recover balloons in the German feet. Two exceptional full-surface returns for Can (21st) and Haaland (50th) to strike. He too will miss the return.
Di Maria: 4.5. A few rare approximations at the start of the match raised fears of a complicated evening, but the Argentinian recovered. He often abandoned his right lane to return to the heart of the game without ever destabilizing the German bloc.
Neymar: 5.5. He suffered numerous faults and struggled to get out of a very narrow marking. Physically, he sometimes seemed in difficulty after 17 days without playing and had a lot of waste. He sent close to the post a free kick to 20 m that he himself had obtained (11th) and offers hope to PSG by cutting a perfect center of Mbappé (1-1, 75th). He missed the equalizing goal by hitting the left on the post (81st).
Mbappé: 5.5. The only axial striker, he struggled against the heavyweight of the German defense. He lost a duel with Zagadou in the area (15th) and saw his two strikes in a closed angle pushed back in a row by Bürki (65th, 66th). But on a personal achievement, he delivers caviar for the goal of Neymar (75th).
