Paris Saint-Germain Player Ratings

Paris Saint-Germain were excellent against Barcelona
Paris Saint-Germain were excellent against Barcelona

Keylor Navas - 6.5/10

Paris Saint-Germain shot-stopper Keylor Navas had surprisingly little to do against Barcelona and could not do much to stop Lionel Messi's penalty. Apart from a haphazard decision in the second half, the goalkeeper had a comfortable outing.

Presnel Kimpembe - 6.5/10

Like his goalkeeper behind him, Presnel Kimpembe would have been thrilled to have a relatively quiet night against Barcelona. The centre-back did make a few important interceptions but was largely comfortable as Paris Saint-Germain dominated the game.

Marquinhos - 6/10

Marquinhos did have a few nervous moments against Lionel Messi but was able to rely on his teammates to clean up after some of his decisions. The Brazilian defender was able to keep Barcelona's attack at bay and had a good game.

Layvin Kurzawa - 7/10

Layvin Kurzawa had his fair share of misfortune as he conceded the penalty that gave Barcelona their opening goal. The left-back was happy to make amends, however, and tormented the Catalans by using the acres of space that were offered to him on the flank.

Alessandro Florenzi - 7.5/10

Alessandro Florenzi seems to enjoy giving Barcelona the occasional nightmare. The Italian full-back overcame his early struggled against Jordi Alba and his pace and intelligence handed him a well-deserved assist on the day.

Idrissa Gueye - 5.5/10

Idrissa Gueye walked a fine tightrope in the first half and was booked for a harsh tackle early in the game. The midfielder was lucky to get away with a few more brash decisions and was promptly replaced after the half-time interval.

Leandro Paredes - 8/10

Leandro Paredes was one of Paris Saint-Germain's most understated performers on the night. The Argentine midfielder won his battles against Frenkie de Jong and allowed the French giants to dominate proceedings against Barcelona at the Camp Nou.

Marco Verratti - 8.5/10

The criminally under-rated Marco Verratti stepped up yet again tonight to prove his mettle against Barcelona's midfield. Paris Saint-Germain's Italian maestro was uncontainable at the Camp Nou and his glorious flick for the first goal was only one of his many special moments of the night.

Moise Kean - 8/10

Moise Kean was viewed by many as Paris Saint-Germain's weak link going into this game but gave his critics a shellacking with a decidedly mature performance. The Italian forward got a goal for his efforts on the night and often made Clement Lenglet a redundant figure with his pace and movement.

Kylian Mbappe - 9/10

Kylian Mbappe has now made a case for himself as the best player in the world. The Frenchman was literally unstoppable on the night and his incredible pace and control gave Lenglet and Pique a night they will unfortunately never be able to forget.

The Paris Saint-Germain winger tore through Barcelona's defence for his first goal and added another to his tally in the second half. Mbappe completed his hat-trick with a Neymar-esque finish towards the end of the game and has more than lived up to his billing today.

Mauro Icardi - 6.5/10

Mauro Icardi is proving to be an important cog in Pochettino's Paris Saint-Germain's side and made his team a cohesive attacking unit. The Argentine striker should have opened the scoring in the first half but went on to trouble Barcelona with his link-up play.

Ander Herrera - 6.5/10

Ander Herrera replaced Idrissa Gueye in the second half and stepped up with a commendable performance to thwart Barcelona's midfielders.

Julian Draxler - 7.5/10

Julian Draxler was brought on to the pitch with 15 minutes remaining in the game and tore through the Barcelona side to create Paris Saint-Germain's fourth goal of the match.

Danilo Pereira - 6/10

Danilo Pereira was introduced towards the end of the game as Paris Saint-Germain looked to see out the final few minutes.

Thilo Kehrer - 6/10

Thilo Kehrer spent only five minutes on the pitch and did not have enough time to make an impact.
