This Friday, during Matchday 18 of Ligue 1 2025-2026, Paris Saint-Germain faced Lille at the Parc des Princes. After a match where the Red and Blue largely dominated, they won 3-0. Here are our player ratings for the Parisians.
Goalkeeper –
Lucas Chevalier (7) – A good first half, two crucial saves, even if he was at fault (for being too far off his line) on Giroud’s lob that hit the crossbar. He wasn’t troubled much in the second half.
Defenders –
Warren Zaïre-Emery (6.5) – It will be difficult for Luis Enrique to drop him from the starting eleven when Hakimi returns. Not that he’ll take the Moroccan’s place, but it would be unfair for the young Frenchman to return to the bench. A return to midfield? He made an impact, as always.
Marquinhos (6) – No complaints about the first half. Not too complicated a match for him.
Willian Pacho (6) – Always effective in duels. He’s reassuring, he seems to play calmly.
Nuno Mendes (7.5) – A real beast, won many duels, he makes the opposition suffer. Another great match for him.
Midfielders –
Senny Mayulu (3) – A disappointing first half. Replaced by Ilya Zabarnyi at halftime (6) – He did what he had to do. He still needs to earn his place, but there’s no doubt he’ll manage to integrate. He hasn’t lost his qualities.
Vitinha (6) – Always in control, he’s less “incisive” in his play lately. Nevertheless, he provided the decisive pass for Dembélé.
Fabian Ruiz (5) – A fairly neutral start to the match. He doesn’t shine and doesn’t make others shine. However, he does run.
Forwards –
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (4) – Poor decision-making, but also frustration at seeing the game unfold on the right. He made some great defensive recoveries. He never really got into the game. Substituted by Bradley Barcola in the 63rd minute.
Ousmane Dembélé (8.5) – Some wastefulness, but a magnificent goal, good pressing. He’s back. His second goal was fantastic. Substituted by Gonçalo Ramos for the last fifteen minutes.
Désiré Doué (5) – His first half was very sluggish. He missed a lot of opportunities. Better in the second half, but without being decisive, even though he provided the assist for Dembélé’s second goal. Substituted by Lucas Hernandez in the 84th minute.
Coach –
Luis Enrique (7) – Criticized for his team’s performance in the first half, he made the necessary changes to hurt Lille. The result: a clear superiority.
