PSG were defeated by FC Barcelona in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals. Here are the ratings for the Parisian players:
A tough night for PSG. The Parisians were non-existent in the first half and only had a brief spark in the second. There were goals, plenty of goals, but PSG ended up losing 3-2, which makes their qualification for the semi-finals very difficult.
PSG were dominated by a very good Raphinha, who scored a brace, but they were also overwhelmed in defense, making numerous mistakes against the attackers.
A comeback is essential next week in Barcelona. They will need to win…
