Nordi Mukiele (Pereira, 85’) – N/R, Came off the bench to help PSG secure all three points and wasn’t troubled. Pablo Sarabia (Mbappe, 85’) – N/R, Worked hard to ensure PSG saw out the game.

PSG RATINGS: Gianluigi Donnarumma - 6, Appeared to have a breakdown of communication with his defenders on a couple of occasions but looked good with his shot stopping. Nothing he could do to deny Terem Moffi. AP
Sergio Ramos - 6, Came across well to block an early shot, while he also played some nice football in attack. However, his poor pass resulted in Moffi making a run forward. Couldn’t score with a couple of headers at the other end but showed his experience to help see out the game. Reuters

Marquinhos - 6, Dealt with Terem Moffi well, especially when the striker attempted to run through. However, he was turned by the striker for the equaliser. Provided Ekitike with a couple of opportunities that were wasted.

Danilo Pereira - 8, Did well to block Theo Le Bris’ early shot to set the tone for a strong defensive performance. Also showed great composure to help create a chance for Ekitike. Headed Neymar’s free-kick delivery over the crossbar but came again to power his header from a corner past Mannone for the winner.
Achraf Hakimi - 6, Delivered a great low cross in the build-up to a Hugo Ekitike chance and made various strong runs going forward in the first half. Didn’t have quite the same quality in the second period. Booked for pulling back Adil Aouchiche. Reuters
Vitinha - 6, Couldn’t quite get his head on Neymar’s corner delivery but showed plenty of composure in the middle of the pitch, often moving the ball nicely.

Marco Verratti - 7, Sustained an early head injury but that didn’t stop him from showing his usual dominance in midfield. He made a number of impressive tackles, with his challenge to stop Enzo Le Fee on the edge of PSG’s box being among the best. AFP
Nuno Mendes - 6, Delivered a decent cross that didn’t quite find Neymar and made a great defensive header under pressure from Moffi. Provided some lovely touches. AFP
Neymar - 8, Saw an early shot saved by Yvon Mvogo but pressed the goalkeeper well to block his clearance shortly after and coolly finished for the opener. Provided a nice lay-off for Ekitike and even helped out defensively at times. His corner delivery set up Pereira for the winner. EPA
Hugo Ekitike - 6, Selflessly teed up Neymar but his search for a first PSG goal continued in frustrating fashion. He couldn’t find the target with a first-time effort, saw a powerful strike saved by Mannone, then had another effort cleared off the line. Looked low on confidence. AFP
Kylian Mbappe - 6, Provided nice link-up play and impressive runs but couldn’t quite bypass Laporte with his attempted cross for Ekitike. His fizzed ball across was cut out by Mannone, and he couldn’t bring Neymar’s pass under his control after a fantastic burst forward. Fired a shot straight at Mannone and was guilty of going down easily at times. AFP
SUBS: Renato Sanches (Vitinha, 67’) - 6, Was a bit heavy handed at times, notably conceding a foul on Le Fee in a dangerous position. Often moved the ball well.
AP
Carlos Soler (Ekitike, 76’) – N/R, Was neat in his play and showed intelligence with some of his passing. AFP
Juan Bernat (Mendes, 76’) – N/R, Made some nice runs forward but was stopped after getting into Lorient’s box. AFP
