On Wednesday at MetLife Stadium in New York, Paris Saint-Germain beat Real Madrid 4-0 (video highlights PSG/Real Madrid) in the semi-finals of the 2025 World Cup. Here are the scores awarded by Le Parisien and L’Équipe to the capital’s players.
Le Parisien :
Kvaratkshelia (7) – Dembélé (8.5) – Doué (6.5)
Ruiz (8.5) – Vitinha (8) – Neves (7)
Nuno Mendes (7.5) – Beraldo (7.5) – Marquinhos (7) – Hakimi (7.5)
Donnarumma (5)
L’Equipe :
Luis Enrique – 8
Kvaratkshelia (6) – Dembélé (8) – Doué (5)
Ruiz (9) – Vitinha (7) – Neves (7)
Nuno Mendes (7) – Beraldo (8) – Marquinhos (7) – Hakimi (8)
Donnarumma (6)
All of which underline Parisian domination of the match. This PSG is too strong for the competition. The players are getting up to speed and there are fewer and fewer gaps in the game. With no goals conceded, just one in the competition, Beraldo replacing Pacho to perfection and the midfielders as strong as ever, the result was an explosive cocktail.
Even if Doué and Kvaratskhelia have been less “good” offensively, the others are taking up the slack, that’s what a team is all about, and the scores (for once) clearly highlight this team’s strengths.
