Leandro Paredes was the man of the night. The Argentina international put in a massive shift in the center of the park. The 26-year-old got a goal to his name and also set up Kylian Mbappe for PSG's opening goal of the night.

Paredes created the most number of chances (5) and completed the most the number of passes (95) in the game. Moreover, Paredes won 8 duels, made 10 recoveries and won 3 tackles successfully.


#2. Keylor Navas was taken off at half-time

Keylor Navas was substituted for Sergio Rico in the second half. The Costa Rican international was taken off after some muscular problems. However, Mauricio Pochettino claimed that it was more of a precaution and more can only be said after further assessment.

The Parisians would be hoping it's nothing serious as they face Bayern Munich next week. Navas was one the heroes of the first leg, and losing him would be a big blow.

Kylian Mbappe is absolutely ripping it apart. He scored a great goal from a tight angle to give his side the lead early on in the game. After today's goal, the 22-year-old has 21 goals in Ligue 1 this season.

Mbappe has scored 33 goals in all competitions this season. The Frenchman has scored 15 goals in his last 11 games, and would be hoping for the streak to continue as PSG tussle it out with Bayern next week.
