Mbappe did it all

In Neymar's absence, he had the left lane to himself and was able to accelerate numerous times on his favorite wing, in Paris' 2-1 victory in Turin.

In the legs, Kylian Mbappé multiplied the races to disrupt the Turin defense.

Alone to move on the front of the attack, the Frenchman scored a beautiful goal by succeeding in a superb sequence, with a small bridge over Bonucci, before unleashing a perfectly placed shot to deceive Szczesny (13th).

Real poison in depth, he then sent a perfect pass to launch Nuno Mendes, 2nd Parisian scorer (69th).

A real full game.

Marquinhos, back on top

The Brazilian defender has often been criticized since the start of the season but he made a clean copy on the lawn of Juventus Stadium.

Always precise at the raise, he multiplied the right interventions and the right counters at the best time.

In weak times, the captain was the only one to bring serenity to an often shaken defense.

Nuno Mendes, an energetic entry

It didn't even take a minute for him to be decisive.

While Juan Bernat was preferred to him, Nuno Mendes showed why he was so important in this team as soon as he entered the game. Launched by Mbappé, the Portuguese full-back was faster than Cuadrado to control the ball in the area and succeed in the perfect gesture to deceive Szczesny.

Bringing power and depth, he helped PSG to finish the match better.

FLOPS

Paris 2nd, acknowledgment of failure

Despite this short success in Turin (1-2), PSG finished 2nd in their group with Benfica's big victory in Haifa (1-6).

A ranking due to the weakest attack outside the capital club.

Incredible scenario which justifies the fact that Paris has not always been consistent in this group stage, not putting enough intensity at times.

This match against Juve was no exception with a very timid face during the first hour of play between lack of aggressiveness and movement around the ball carrier.

A 2nd place in the form of a penalty.

Sergio Ramos does not reassure

Unlike last season, Sergio Ramos continues the matches without injury.

But the Spanish defender is not reassuring.

If he has not yet lost with PSG since his arrival, he does not exude great serenity in central defense.

Alongside a much more sovereign Marquinhos, Ramos often swung long balls towards the opponent and was sometimes limited in his interventions.

Bernat, too tender

Preferred to Nuno Mendes, physically short, Juan Bernat had a complicated evening on the side of Turin.

Not bringing offensively, the Spanish side especially suffered defensively against Cuadrado.

Between placement concerns and lost duels, he never knew how to contain the Colombian and is particularly at fault on the goal of Juve.

And when we know that his replacement has done better, we can fear for his place between now and the last two matches before the World Cup.
