TOPS
Mbappé, reassembled like never before
Very legs, the French was a real poison for the Burgundy defense . Fearsome by its accelerations on the left side, it was at the origin of many movements by being more collective than in recent weeks. Hard-hitting, lively, he ended up making the decision in the second half after several missed attempts before. Lucid to conclude in the area (74th, 90th + 1), he was also a decisive passer for Icardi (76th).

Sarabia, more than just a joker
The Spanish environment is rarely disappointing when it is called upon. Especially in 2020. Holder against Dijon, he launched his team on the road to success by being lucid in the area from the 3rd minute. Available later on his left flank, he was effective in pressing and in his short stints. And has never faltered in its activity. He could have scored the double with a shot on the post (71st).
Gueye back in legs
Dull for some time, the Senegalese seems to have taken advantage of this week without a match to rebuild his physical health. Very active in midfield, he plugged the spaces and participated in the Parisian ball lifts. Collecting 7 balls and winning more than 62% of duels, he was precise in his transmissions and was very useful in allowing PSG to recover the ball quickly.

FLOPS
Cavani, less successful
Last Sunday, he had celebrated his 200th goal at PSG and seemed on a cloud. But against Dijon, Edinson Cavani fell back into his faults . If he managed a few combinations, he also missed a lot on goal. Author of a single miss against the goal on a center of Mbappé (36th), he missed another opportunity by trying a too difficult gesture (60th), before sending a too powerful center to Mbappé (61st). On this match, the comparison hurts with Icardi, who scored on his 1st ball.
2 - 2 of the 5 shots in the game with the largest xG values not transformed by Paris in Ligue 1 2019/20 are signed Edinson Cavani against Dijon today (0.73 xG and 0.68 xG). Unmissable. https://t.co/6JjGXkl3hI

Quickly showered by a goal conceded from the 3rd minute, Dijon did not exist. Defensively, the visitors were too naive and found themselves overwhelmed on each Paris acceleration. Note the plight of Alphonse, right side who had to defend against the escaped Sarabia, Mbappé and Bernat.
