On the occasion of Matchday 17 of Ligue 1 2025/26, Paris Saint-Germain hosted Paris FC at Parc des Princes this Sunday, and the Parisian derby went Rouge et Bleu.

Desire Doue opened the scoring late in the first half, and everything seemed to be going well for PSG before a generous penalty was given to the visitors. After being tied, PSG immediately regained the lead through Ousmane Dembele and then managed its advantage until the end, starting 2026 without overexertion.

Here are the PSG player ratings against Paris FC (2-1):

Lucas Chevalier (5): Nothing for a half, a penalty not so far from being saved, and two comfortable saves afterward.

Warren Zaire-Emery (5): Good in defensive activity, more difficulty making the flank work.

Ilya Zabarnyi (5): Calm before the break against Gory, less so after, with a very harsh penalty called against him.

Willian Pacho (7): A rock in duels, with precise reading of the game.

Nuno Mendes (7): Punch in attack, incredible defensive recoveries, a big return match.

Vitinha (6): Control, mastery and perpetual precision.

Joao Neves (6): A lot of defensive activity, a bit more difficulty making an impact in attack.

Fabian Ruiz (6): A complicated start, then an assist to get going, and a second half all about control and mastery.

Desire Doue (8, MVP): A huge quarter-hour before the break, with a goal and huge differences made, less visible otherwise.

Ousmane Dembele (7): A goal worth its weight in gold, but above all, a few dribbles and actions of genius that reminded us of the player's true face.

Senny Mayulu (5): Good ideas and interesting movement, but shortcomings on too many points.
