Leipzig-PSG (0-3): the ratings of Parisian players

The Parisians have mastered their subject and qualified for the first Champions League final in their history. Very solid defensively, notably thanks to the performances of Bernat and Marquinhos, both scorers, PSG relied offensively on the talent of Neymar and Angel Di Maria to get rid of a disappointing team from RB Leipzig.

Rico: 6. Navas' replacement has succeeded in his rare interventions. He folds easily on the first shot from Sabitzer (9th). Releases at the foot without risk and an authoritarian intervention in front of Angelino (75th).

Kehrer: 6. The side has locked his lane in front of Nkunku. Not always imperial in the air, he did not weigh enough offensively. A completely missed center (28th).

Thiago Silva: 7. His sense of placement and his sharp interventions disgusted the Leipzig forwards. A little too far from Poulsen on the best German opportunity (25th), he was imperial the rest of the time.

Kimpembe: 6. Embarrassed by the size of the attackers, he often found himself late, causing too many fouls. Warned (45th + 3), he stepped up after the break like his millimeter tackle on Poulsen (75th).

Bernat: 7.5. Except when he was overtaken by Laimer (25th), he was very solid defensively. More daring after the break, he scored with his head the third goal just after stumbling over Gulacsi (0-3, 56th).

Marquinhos: 7.5. Second goal in six days for the Brazilian who, unopposed, deceives the keeper with a powerful header on a chiseled free kick from Di Maria (0-1, 13th). He showed authority in the face of the defense.

Herrera: 7. He did a tough harassment job to cut the direction of the German game. In front of the surface, he skillfully finds Mbappé in depth (16th). Replaced by Draxler (83rd).

Paredes: 7. His first long pass too deep and a very dangerous ball lost in front of Sabitzer (8th) cast doubt but the Argentinian quickly recovered. He brought grinta and an obvious technical touch to the middle. At the origin of the second goal after a bad recovery from the goalkeeper. Replaced by Verratti (83rd).

Di Maria: 9. A magnificent return after his suspension, he is involved on all three goals. He drops the ball on the head of Marquinhos on the opening scoring (0-1, 13th) then deceives Gulacsi, alone against the German goalkeeper (0-1, 42nd). His speed hurt Angelino and Klostermann. He rolls up a perfect cross for Bernat (0-3, 56th).

Neymar: 8.5. A magical night for the Brazilian who can only regret his lack of success against goal. As against Atalanta, he magnetized the whole Parisian game. He found the post on an outside of the right foot (6th) then on a very off-center free kick of 25m (35th). Afterwards, he made a brilliant aerial heel to shift Di Maria on the second goal (42nd). He misses the frame narrowly on a Mbappé service (44th).

Mbappé: 6. Positioned on the left side, he doesn't have a lot of balls to exploit. His speed still set the defenders on fire. He stumbles closely on Gulacsi (16th) then delivers a marvel of center to Neymar (44th). A resumption of the head flush with the frame (70th) and a shot deflected by Gulacsi (72nd). Replaced by Choupo-Moting (86th).
