Without Lionel Messi among those called up due to injury, Paris Saint-Germain rallied from an adverse result but drew 2-2 – in additional time – against Leipzig for matchday four of Group A of the UEFA Champions League. Georginio Wijnaldum scored both goals.
Next, we review the 1×1 scores of Mauricio Pochettino’s eleven starters in the victory against the German team:
Gianluigi Donnarumma (8): he made quality stops within the area and covered a penalty that could have taken the point away from the Parisians. Team goalkeeper with high aspirations.
Achraf Hakimi (4): he was constantly dribbled by his gang and had no lethal interference in attack. It is made to think about rival arc.
Marquinhos (6): his long passes were one of Poche’s team’s main assets and he provided the 2-1 assist. He’s happy with the tape.
Presnel Kimpembe (4): He appeared in the photo of Leipzig’s goal due to a closure typical of an amateur footballer, poorly profiled. Still it is a guarantee with the ball at the feet and in 1v1 duels.
Nuno Mendes (5): the Germans sought to become strong on their side and the side responded without major failures. Approved.
Georginio Wijnaldum (8.5): far from being constantly involved in the party, he showed up when needed. He shot twice at the goal and scored 2 goals. He avoided the tragedy in Paris. He has the gift of a type N ° 9: he is always at the right time and place.
Danilo Pereira (3): It did not become strong in defense and -obviously-, in a team that skips the midfield, less in the gestation of the game. Left over.
Idrissa Gueye (5): he worked hard to get the ball back and he delivered. Such a stellar team overshadows their talent.
Angel Di Maria (5): He delivered a lousy ball backwards that ended in a goal for Leipzig, but he is always the one who tries the most on offense. Impossible to shoot.
Kylian Mbappé (2): he delivered an assist but didn’t kill the game when he got the chance. He missed two clear chances. Soft.
Neymar Jr (4): when he wants to play, when he wants not. Only cracks can do that. You are licensed for short breaks. But small. Poche must let him know.
