Marseille Player Ratings vs PSG

Goalkeeper

G. Rulli — 4/10. Made a big error as he failed to catch a cross and gave it straight to Neves for the first goal. Could have done better for the own goal as well.

Defenders

M. Murillo — 6/10. Did quite well against Barcola 1v1. However, he did not provide too much to the team with the ball.

L. Balerdi — 4/10. The Argentine CB scored a really comical own goal to double PSG’s lead. Struggled on the whole to march PSG’s forwards.

G. Kondogbia — 5/10. Not the greatest outing for Kondogbia playing out of position. Shaky in duels and didn’t provide much with the ball either.

L. Brassier – 5/10. Struggled to contend with the dribbling of Dembele. Barely provided anything when he had the ball.

Midfielders

A. Rabiot – 6/10. Did try to provide some steel and quality in the midfield but PSG’s midfield were simply too good for them.

P. Hojbjerg – 5/10. A very poor outing for the Danish workhorse. Beaten way too easily at times and also booked early on.

M. Greenwood — 4/10. Made a poor judgement leading to a PSG goal. Taken off at half time in what was his worst outing in a Marseille shirt.

A. Harit — 4/10. Sent off in the 20th minute for a terrible challenge on Marquinhos. A very high boot and a deserved red.

L. Henrique – 5/10. Very ineffective performance from the Brazilian winger. Could not really threaten as Hakimi feasted on that wing.

Forwards

E. Wahi — 5/10. Had a very silent first half and was replaced at half time. Only had a shot from absurd range which didn’t trouble the keeper much.

Substitutes

I. Kone – 5/10. Came on and lost the most duels in the game.

J. Ramsey – 5/10. Came on at half time and didn’t have the chance to do much else.

P. Lirola – N.A.

Manager

R. De Zerbi – 6/10. Massively let down today by individual mistakes. The quality difference also showed between the two sides.

Goalkeeper

G. Donnarumma – 6/10. Only had one save to make in the entire game and even that was an easy save from a shot from way out.

W. Pacho – 7/10. Completely dominated anything Marseille threw at him. Very good on the ball too. Looks like a great signing.

Midfielders

J. Neves – 8/10. The young midfielder got his first ever PSG goal today. He also won the most duels of anyone in the game.

Vitinha – 6/10. Extremely good at recycling possession in deeper areas. However, he does get byepassed a little too easily in midfield.
