PSG beat Bayern Munich in the first leg of the Champions League semifinals in a crazy match. Here are the player ratings for the Parisians.
PSG hosted Bayern Munich at the Parc des Princes on Tuesday for the first leg of the UEFA Champions League semifinals. A crazy match.
Harry Kane opened the scoring from the penalty spot (17th minute), but Khvicha Kvaratskhelia equalized seven minutes later. Joao Neves, with a header, gave the Parisians a partial lead (33rd minute).
Still, a little less than 10 minutes later, Michael Olise tied it again. Just before the end of the first half, Ousmane Dembele from the penalty spot.
In the 56th minute, Kvaratskhelia scored his brace, with Dembele doing the same three minutes later. Bayern closed in on PSG with goals from Dayot Upamecano and Luis Diaz in the 65th and 69th minutes, respectively.
PSG vs. Bayern Munich - Player Ratings: Goalkeeper
4 - Matvey Safonov: Despite conveying confidence in multiple moments, it is difficult to give him a good grade considering the number of goals he conceded. The same for Manuel Neuer.
PSG vs. Bayern Munich - Player Ratings: Defenders
5 - Achraf Hakimi: As always, doing a good job of occupying spaces. He recorded an assist, but aside from that, we did not see him shine particularly again.
5 - Marquinhos: Excellent at conveying confidence, effective on his long passes, and at least five defensive contributions. Nothing outstanding, but he was not bad.
4 - Willian Pacho: He caused the Bayern penalty that allowed Kane to score his goal. He was not particularly erratic, but he also did not add any action that would compensate for his foul on Luis Diaz in Safonov's box.
4 - Nuno Medes: It was not his best match. It was evident that he was not in peak physical condition. An occasional good defensive flash, but overall, he looked very tired.
PSG vs. Bayern Munich - Player Ratings: Midfielders
6 - Warren Zaire-Emery: Without mentioning a couple of defensive mistakes, an elite match for the young Frenchman. Two dangerous chances created, 27 of 30 passes completed. A player of great physical strength, but also fast.
7 - Vitinha: A match very much in the style of what only he knows how to do. He pulled the strings of the game. He was not as involved in the attack, but still completed 11 passes in the final third of the field. He created two dangerous chances.
7 - Joao Neves: He scored a goal and was a true locomotive in the midfield.
PSG vs. Bayern Munich - Player Ratings: Forwards
7 - Desire Doue: Great match from Paris' number 14. Two assists, technical quality and constant danger.
8 - Ousmane Dembele: Despite not being accurate in all his opportunities, Dembele managed to leave his mark. Two goals and one assist. Great presser, a player of sacrifice, and also a scorer.
8 - Khvicha Kvaratskhelia: Brace from the Georgian to deliver another high-performance match. Like Dembele, Kvaratskhelia does not hesitate to drop back and defend, and when he is near the goal, he is a true danger.
