On the occasion of Matchday 7 of the UEFA Champions League, Paris Saint-Germain faced Sporting CP in Lisbon and lost 2-1 on a brace from Luis Suarez, with Kvara having equalized shortly before.
The Parisians dominated for most of the match, without scoring, then foolishly cracked at the end of the game.

Lucas Chevalier (4): Calm and clean for a long time, unlucky but also far from perfect at the end.
Warren Zaïre-Emery (5): A big impact in the first half, especially defensively, more trouble subsequently.
Marquinhos (5): Struggled to manage Luis Suarez well, but at least willing.
Willian Pacho (6): A huge number of duels won and genuine defensive assurance in all circumstances.
Nuno Mendes (4): Very good beginnings, but a shipwreck as it went on, with the second goal on top of it.
Vitinha (5): Good in distribution at the start of the game, but less and less accurate afterwards.
Senny Mayulu (5): Excellent at pressing, less visible in the game, and too soft in front of the goal.
Fabian Ruiz (5): A good complement in midfield, in activity, pressing, and creation, but also a symbol of Parisian shortcomings.
Bradley Barcola (4): Activity and pressing on the left side, but trouble in and around the box.
Ousmane Dembélé (4): An assist, a few flashes of inspiration, but also plenty of waste and a permanent anger hard to understand.
Desire Doué (4): Activity and accuracy that gradually faded in favor of an absolutely horrible final third of the match.
