Keylor Navas - 7/10

Arguably the best player for PSG tonight! Navas made a couple of good saves in the game to prevent Manchester City from extending their lead, although there was nothing he could've done about their goals tonight.

Alessandro Florenzi - 6/10

He was caught out by Ederson's long ball in the build-up to Mahrez's opener but made one key interception off Foden's pass which denied De Bruyne a potential chance. Overall, the Italian was decent.

Marquinhos - 6.5/10

The Brazilian skipper made another headed attempt tonight, but could only hit the post this time and impressed in defense in part. He completed all four of his tackles though.

Presnel Kimpembe - 5/10

His positioning was suspect and was also a second too late to react in the build-up to Manchester City's first goal. He appeared to pick up a knock midway through the second-half but got back up to finish the game.

Abdou Diallo - 6/10

Besides his accuracy with passing, Diallo produced little of note. He was also outpaced by Mahrez on the counter for Manchester City's second goal.

Ander Herrera - 6/10

He was run over in midfield by Manchester City and didn't attempt a single tackle in the game. The Spaniard was also booked in the first-half.

Leandro Paredes - 6/10

Paredes was no competition for Fernandinho and generally failed to replicate his performance from the first-leg.

Marco Veratti - 7/10

The only bright spot in midfield for PSG as Veratti impressed with his accurate passing and timed his tackles to perfection.

Angel Di Maria - 5/10

He struggled to break down Manchester City despite getting into good positions and was later sent off for stamping on Fernandinho, making life more difficult for PSG.

Mauro Icardi - 4/10

The worst player on the pitch without a doubt. Icardi barely even got a touch of the ball and left the field with absolutely zero shots attempted. It's anyone's guess why Pochettino didn't take him off at half-time.

Neymar - 7/10

Normally the star player for PSG on nights like these, Neymar struggled to get the better of Manchester City's well-drilled defense despite flashes of brilliance. Of course he missed Mbappe.


Substitutes

Danilo Perreira - 6/10

The Portuguese international made one clearance and an interception each after replacing Paredes.

Moise Kean - 5/10

He was thrown in to bolster PSG's attack but the youngster ended up ghosting instead.

Julian Draxler - 5/10

Draxler came alongside Kean to add more attacking impetus but did nothing.

Mitchel Bakker - N/A

Too little, too late.

Colin Dagba - 6/10

Nothing much to see from him besides one tackle.
