PSG lost (3-2) the first round of the Champions League quarter-final against their Barcelona rival who was more solid defensively but also more pragmatic and incisive offensively.
On the occasion of this big spring meeting, the Parisian leaders were expected around the corner, like Kylian Mbappé. Often marked by two Blaugrana defenders, including his compatriot Jules Koundé, the former Monegasque was unable to make the difference on his left side and he did not bring his usual impact on the performance of the Parisian attack. It is therefore logical that the 2018 world champion inherited the score of 2.8/10 from Internet users, below the score of 3 given to him by our reporters.
Only Nuno Mendes (6), Vitinha (7) and Ousmane Dembélé (6) obtained a rating above average in the newspaper L’Équipe. Vitinha received the best rating from Internet users (6.3) ahead of Dembélé (5.8) and Mendes (5.8). Internet users, however, were more severe than our reporters when rating Parisian coach Luis Enrique (3.9 compared to 5 for our journalists).
