FS Video

PSG

G Donnarumma (7.2/10): Made a couple of good saves and his distribution was excellent. Arguably could have done better to save the goal.

Marquinhos (6.8/10): The captain was solid in defence and made some good progressive passes. He was dribbled past a couple of times though.

P Kimpembe(7/10): He had a good game in defence and managed to keep out St Etienne forwards.

Nuno Mendes (6.8/10): Saw a lot of the ball near the byline and was good on the offence.

Thilo Kehrer (6.7/10): Did not offer much going forward but was good defensively.

Idrissa Gueye (6.5/10): Had a decent game in midfield but lost a majority of the duels in midfield.

Georginio Wijnaldum (6.3/10): Had a quiet game and did not get into the game much.

Danilo Pereira (6.6/10): Made a costly error that led to a goal but redeemed himself by getting a goal for his side.

Lionel Messi (8.5/10): Set up Mbappe for both his goals. His pass for the first goal was defence breaking and his overall game was excellent.

Neymar (6.8/10): Neymar lost possession way too many times and could not impact the game as much as the other forwards. He did show his class at times and also created a couple of good chances.

Kylian Mbappe (9.1/10): Had a near-perfect game getting 2 goals and an assist. His trivela assist to set up Danilo’s goal was beautiful.

Substitutions:

Angel di Maria (6.6/10): Came on in the 45th minute and was unlucky to hit the woodwork once.

Mauro Icardi (NA): Didn’t have time to impact the game.

Juan Bernat(NA): Didn’t have time to impact the game.

Julian Draxler(NA): Didn’t have time to impact the game.

St Etienne:

Paul Bernardoni (5.7/10):  Let through 3 goals and was easily beaten for the first Mbappe goal where he definitely had to do better. His distribution was also poor.

Mickael Nade (6.2/10): Could not deal with the pace of Mbappe and was caught out multiple times.

Eliaquim Mangala(6/10): Made a few blocks but could not deal with the PSG attacking line and let in three goals.

Mahdi Camara (6.2/10): Had a poor game and could not stop the opposing forwards.

Timothée Kolodziejczak (6.4/10):  Was decent at Left Back but did not provide any threat going forward.

Zaydou Youssouf(6/10): Made some good passes and long balls but could not impose himself on the game as he would have wanted to.

Lucas Gourna-Douath (5.8/10):  Had a very poor game and lost the battle in midfield. Was unable to create any chances for his team.

Denis Bouanga (6.8/10): Capitalised on Periera’s error and scored with a smart finish but was lacklustre throughout the game otherwise.

Arnaud Nordin (5.8/10): Was unable to impact the game much from the wing and was quiet for a majority of the match.

Ryad Boudebouz (7.1/10): Was impressive upfront taking on the defenders and getting past them.
