Donnarumma (9)
Donnarumma had a great game and deserves to be named player of the match. Nuno Mendes showed that he hasn’t been the same since his extension. Pacho was enormous, as were Vitinha and Neves. Dembélé scored again, it was a great match, very difficult to put down.
For the time being, the two media were quite fair. Hakimi was rushed, he wasn’t good and it showed. Paris qualified and for that, they needed a great striker and a great goalkeeper, and fortunately, Paris has them. The players did their job like champions.
