The ratings of PSG players against Real Madrid: Donnarumma weighed them down, Marquinhos condemned them

Gianluigi Donnarumma: 2

But what a ball! He put Real back in the game on his own by dithering in front of Benzema. A monumental error that woke up Bernabeu at the same time as Real. However, he was going through an uneventful evening so far. If he can’t do much about Real’s last two goals, he is at the origin of everything by restoring hope.

In short… What got into you, Gigio?

Ashraf Hakimi: 3

He went through hell for the first ten minutes before getting the better of Vinicius. The Moroccan even allowed himself spectacular ball lifts. But his game is definitely tarnished by his alignment. A gross error of replacement which is expensive at the time of doing the accounts.

In short… What a lack of vigilance….

Replaced by Julian Draxler (89th).

Marquinhos: 2

His match was a slow descent into hell until this pass in the axis intercepted by Benzema. The culmination of a night where nothing went right for the captain of PSG. Between failed recovery in the middle (25th), backheel badly felt in his area (27th), interception too long (36th) and, above all, big difficulties in the air against Benzema (37th, 64th). Too short on Real’s second goal, he offers the third. Catastrophic.

In short: Benzema has made it his thing.

Presnel Kimpembe: 3

He too was having a quiet evening until these last twenty minutes spent in hell. It all started with this burning ball lost in its area (74th), the rest was an ordeal. Eaten in the engagement by Benzema on the third goal, the Parisian is completely out of his match multiplying delayed interventions

In short… Unable to withstand the pressure.

Nuno Mendes : 5

Asensio, ghostly on Wednesday, made his life easier and Nuno Mendes ruled his side. The Portuguese remains the only Parisian defender to have held on in this nightmare Wednesday.

In short… Strong, for nothing.

Marco Verrati: 5.5

His relationship with Lionel Messi in the first period gave PSG air and ideas and the Italian, still full of vista, seriously committed himself to effective recovery work. But he failed to close the gaps in the second half when the ship took on water in the 16 minutes that cost Paris the quarter-final. Overwhelmed by the vista of Modric that he has, however, long dominated.

In short… Cruel.

Danilo Pereira: 5

First valuable in recovery and in the air where he was the only one to compare with Benzema, he too was overwhelmed by the awakening of Bernabeu. Why doesn’t he intervene faster on Vinicius during Madrid’s second goal? Unable to put intensity when the PSG needed it the most, he accompanied the slow decay of his people.

Replaced by Angel Di Maria (81st).

In short… He cracked.

Leandro Paredès: 5

His stupid card for protest from the 7th minute puts him in difficulty. He opened the scoring by recovering the ball and quickly passing it to Neymar. He is the one who triggers everything. Its release coincided with the Paris black hole.

Replaced by Idrissa Gueye (71st), completely irrelevant.

In short… We will long regret its release.

Lionel Messi: 4.5

He continues to descend irreparably on the ground. At ease in the first period in a remote leading role, he offered many solutions but he disappeared in the second period. Unable to make differences in his dribbling, he tried to compensate with his passing quality. This is not enough. We can’t make him bear the weight of elimination alone, but the cold observation is clear. In 180 minutes, unlike Neymar and Messi, he was never decisive. For a Ballon d’Or, it’s a task.

In short… Recruited to grow the dreams of PSG, he stifled them.

Kylian Mbappe: 7

This Wednesday, he scored three wonderful goals. Two will be taken away from him by the VAR but his shot at the near post should have launched Paris on the highway. In what will undoubtedly be his future garden, the Parisian was as exciting as on the outward journey by making differences on each ball. Tonight, he made football child’s play with this incredible feint in front of Courtois on his second disallowed goal. Unfortunately for him, his teammates were not up to his standard and he may have played his last Champions League match with PSG.

In short… What a player all the same…

Neymar: 5

He loses the ball which must not be lost when Madrid wakes up and launches the counter-attack towards Madrid’s second goal. So far, he had fulfilled his role by sending Mbappé to the moon on the opener. Rather applied defensively, he no longer has his devastating kick and has lost a lot of duels. Too much for a player of his quality and importance.

In short… The genius and the devil.
