This Saturday, as part of the 13th day of Ligue 1 2024-2025, Paris Saint-Germain faced Nantes at the Parc des Princes. The Rouge et Bleu dominated the match, but missed a number of chances to draw 1-1. Here are our notes on the Parisians.
Goalkeeper –
Gianluigi Donnarumma (5) – Didn’t have much to do, apart from the goal, for which he was not at fault, and a save from a corner. He was decent in the restart.
Defenders –
Achraf Hakimi (7) – Impressive attacking and defensive activity, and he also scored. It’s a shame some of his crosses weren’t a little more precise.
Marquinhos (6) – Pretty solid, even if it was difficult to keep Moses Simon at bay. He was neither imperious nor worrying.
Willian Pacho (3,5) – A tough evening for the Ecuadorian, with a few failed passes, less precise interventions and a rather naive dribble on the conceded goal.
Nuno Mendes (5.5) – He opened the scoring with his cross and was interesting on certain ascents, but he was less at ease when he was more axial or with his back to the game.
Midfielders –
João Neves (6) – A lot of activity, some good ball recovery and a few good chances. But there were also two big misses in the final third that spoiled the copy a little. As well as a few wasted balls that seemed avoidable. Replaced in the 60th minute by Warren Zaïre-Emery.
Vitinha (6) – Organized the game well and passed some excellent balls. Unfortunately, he failed to find the net with his shots.
Fabian Ruiz (6) – We’d like to see him go faster with the ball at times, but he created chances with some fine passes and was pretty active defensively.
Forwards –
Lee Kang-In (6.5) – Had plenty of chances, both off the dribble and on the pass. Unfortunately, he was a little unlucky to see his shot hit the post.
Gonçalo Ramos (7,5) – A decisive pass on the goal before delivering several superb passes which his team-mates unfortunately failed to capitalize on.
Bradley Barcola (3) – Once again, we saw too little of him. Even though he created a few chances and defended well. He struggled to make a difference in one-on-one situations.
Coach –
Luis Enrique (6) – When PSG don’t win, there’s bound to be disappointment. But the Parisians largely dominated. It’s up to the coach to prepare his team as best he can, and he always has responsibilities. However, he can’t finish things himself.
