The notes of the Parisians: the paradox of Neymar, Icardi and Sarabia ghostly

Special envoy to Lisbon

Keylor Navas (6) : A huge parade at the start of the match, on a point blank header (11th). He can not do much on the opening of the scoring (27th). Fate injured (80th), replaced by Sergio Rico (not rated) after long minutes of palaver. His absence in the half, or even in the final, would be a huge blow for PSG.

Thilo Kehrer (4) : If he knew how to impose his physique, the German defender was totally disinterested in the offensive game. Lack of initiative. Yet he knows how to be valuable in this area.

Thiago Silva (6.5) : If PSG has pitched, the Brazilian captain has, as often in major meetings, lived up to his status. PSG suffered from the head, not "O Monstro". Captain courage.

Presnel Kimpembe (7)  : Some technical inaccuracies, behind the goal of Pasalic (27th). It's not nothing. We will forgive him. Because the warrior Kimpembe was out on Wednesday evening, at the Estadio da Luz. His activity has done a lot of good. He often played the duty firefighters. 14 balloons recovered. Strong.   

Juan Bernat (5.5) : As discreet offensively as his counterpart on the right in the first period, the Spanish international was emboldened over the course of the meeting. For a player who only had an hour of play in his hands, and again, in a friendly against Sochaux, we shouldn't expect too much either. Warned (54th).

Marquinhos (6)  : Aligned as a sentinel, the Brazilian had a hard time when Papu Gomez climbed into the towers. And generally before rest. It rose to crescendo and above all proved invaluable in the air, a failing sector in Paris. And it is he who equalizes (90th), symbol of a PSG who has not let go.

Idrissa Gueye (4) : The Parisian environment has often taken the broth Wednesday, unable to get out of the pressure and eaten in the aggressiveness, the physical duel. "Gana" Gueye was nevertheless recruited to bring more in this area. Missed. Replaced by Leo Paredes (72nd, unrated), who immediately highlighted his passing qualities by throwing Mbappé in depth. PSG had already gained the upper hand at this time.

Ander Herrera (4) : Same observation as for Gueye. The Spaniard has suffered too much and has been unable to relieve his partners in the face of the pressure. Warned (57th) and replaced by Julian Draxler (72nd, not rated).

Pablo Sarabia (2) : Usually reliable in big meetings and catchy in duels, the Spanish neo-international has made a copy as tasteless as Mauro Icardi (see elsewhere). Aligned on the left in the offensive phases, he was regularly moved in the duels. Replaced by Kylian Mbappé (60th, not rated), whose entry changed everything. In the game, in the minds. Decisive passer for "Choupo" (90 + 3).

Mauro Icardi (2) : "It's time for him to show that he is capable of bringing us to the semi-finals". This is what Thomas Tuchel said about him before this match. Missed. Icardi hasn't achieved much. Lack of confidence. He is in a worrying phase. Ghostly. Replaced by the improbable Parisian hero, Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting (79th, not rated), involved in the first goal (90th) and author of the second (90 + 3).

Neymar Jr (7.5) : The Brazilian had to be "the key", dixit Tuchel. He was. Involved on the second goal (90th + 3), decisive passer (despite himself) on the first (90th), he was decisive. In the game, he was grandiose. No one to stop him. Although, the former Barcelona has sometimes done too much ... But he especially lacked realism in front of goal. Two enormous opportunities harvested in the first period.
