PSG 5-0 Marseille: Paris Saint-Germain Player Ratings
Matvey Safonov (6): Two saves when they were needed, and a presence that was often reassuring.
Warren Zaire-Emery (6): Good in defense, and just as good in starting play. The embodiment of reliability.
Marquinhos (7): Quite a few interventions in key areas and a much better visual impression.
Willian Pacho (6): Another major duel delivered against Gouiri, but dominated inside the box on two occasions.
Nuno Mendes (9): The ultimate match for a left-back was right there, just missing a goal. Perfect in every other way.
Vitinha (7): A recital against the press and in building play from the back, but a tackle that nearly proved very costly.
Joao Neves (8): Found his legs again and had an enormous impact all over the pitch, even forcing an own goal.
Senny Mayulu (6): A timid first half, although serious defensively, more liberated and interesting afterward.
Desire Doue (7): A superb pass to set up the first goal and plenty of good things in his play.
Bradley Barcola (8): Excellent in his movement and one-on-one situations, a little less so in finishing.
Ousmane Dembele (9.5): A brace including one already legendary goal, a classy assist, and Munich-like pressing.
