Tops
Mbappé, still dazzling
Once again, Kylian Mbappé carried the PSG.
From the outset, he made Bruges suffer thanks to his devastating acceleration.
Scorer from the 2nd minute by opening his foot well, he signed the double on a superb end after an opening by Di Maria (7th).
In the service of the collective, he offered good balls, like the one that allowed Messi to score his 1st goal of the evening.
Less impactful after the break, it remained a poison for the Belgian defense.
Essential.

Messi, even better in the Champions League
If in Ligue 1, Lionel Messi has difficulties (only 1 goal scored), the Argentinian seems transformed in the Champions League and has scored his 4th and 5th goals in the competition this season, against Bruges.
More mobile and available, he was present in the Parisian offensive game with some dangerous actions (31st, 35th), a goal scored thanks to a curled shot of which he has the secret (38th) and another from the penalty spot (76th).
It is now 125 achievements in C1.
Verratti, imperial in the middle
Once again, Marco Verratti has shown how essential he is in this PSG.
Positioned as a sentinel, the Italian was interesting to ensure the offensive transitions and also put a lot of effort into the recovery.
Interesting in his relationship with attacking players, he is an essential link in the midfield.
Donnarumma, always so serene
If he conceded a goal, Gianluigi Donnarumma was still safe in his cage.
Unperturbed on his line, he made three great saves in this match and was reassuring in the air.
The Italian has apparently gained points in his duel from a distance with Keylor Navas.
Flops
Brugge was not
Surprised there from the second minute, Brugge did not seem as interesting as in the first leg (1-1).
The Belgian club are currently in the hard and have encountered a lot of difficulties to resist the duo Messi-Mbappé.
Feverish defensively, the Belgians were not more inspired in attack and left this group stage in 4th and last place.

A still inconsistent PSG
If Paris was rather spectacular in the first period, it fell asleep again in the second, falling back into its usual quirks. Between insufficient withdrawal, easy ball losses or unstable transitions, the Parisians still seemed to be in the locker room after the break. Pochettino still has work to do to make this squad consistent over 90 minutes.
Wijnaldum, the unknown
Mauricio Pochettino chose to give Georginio Wijnaldum a chance throughout the match.
He probably wanted to see the Dutchman at work, still very irregular since his arrival.
Except that the former Liverpool midfielder made a poor copy.
Missing two great chances in this match (4th, 28th), he seemed lost in the midfield and did not really serve the collective by being content to play simple and behind, not putting enough verticality in his game.
