Paris Saint-Germain proved too strong for the Ukrainian champions as they cruised past Dynamo Kyiv with a convincing 2-0 win at Olimpiysky National Sports Complex on Wednesday
It was another eye catching performance from the cash-laden club from Paris in Europe this season, as they sealed their qualification to the next round of the Champions League on Wednesday. Ezequiel Lavezzi, who has just returned from injury,
scored both goals for Carlo Ancelotti’s side.
PSG needed to win this game after suffering a humiliating defeat at the hands of nine-man Stade Rennais last weekend. And coach, Carlo Ancelotti is delighted with his side’s response and has urged his players to play with same confidence and attitude in
Ligue as well.
Bettor.com now takes a look at Paris Saint-Germain’s players and how they performed in Kyiv on Wednesday.

The Paris Saint-Germain shot-stopper was a beast between the stick and produced a number of brilliant saves to keep his side in the game. However, he looked little shaky in air but did well to keep a clean sheet in Kyiv.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Thiago-Silva-c34903
The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Brazil-c2858 international was as commanding as ever and was a rock for the visitors at the back. The centre-back has rarely put a foot wrong since joining the Paris revolution and is justifying his hefty price tag with a string of impressive performances
both in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 and Europe.

A calm and steady performance from another Brazilian. Timed his tackles well and was a threat for Dynamo Kyiv on corners and set pieces.
Maxwell
Another typical performance from the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Maxwell-c25051 was impressive throughout the match and Carlo Ancelotti might be reconsidering his intensions of bringing in another left-back in the upcoming transfer window.
Gregory van der Wiel
The Dutchman was handed a rare start in the absence of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Christophe-Jallet-c9179 but once again looked unconvincing at the back. Committed some needless fouls, and needs to step up his games if he wants to become a regular for the Paris giants.
Mohamed Lamine Sissoko
Sissoko struggled in the early stages of the match and did not look sharp. No surprises there when Carlo Ancelotti took him off in the second half.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nenê-c27581
The Brazilian was wearing a mask to protect his cheekbone he fractured recently but played one of his best games of the season. Provided some brilliant crosses but was wasteful in front of goal.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Blaise-Matuidi-c7681
Another solid performance form the France international who has cemented his place with a string of stunning performances for the Ile giants this season. Matuidi was a key figure in PSG’s second goal of the match and he made no silly mistakes on the pitch.
Marco Verratti
The youngster repaid the faith showed in him by the coach with a steady performance against Dynamo Kyiv in the Champions League. Looked exhausted at times but looked comfortable on the ball.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ezequiel-Lavezzi-c13073 – Top of the match
What a performance from the Argentine international. Scored a brace on his return and got off the mark for his new club. Showed just why Les Parisiens were so keen to sign him in the summer and was the man of the match on Wednesday.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Zlatan-Ibrahimovic-c38029
The Swede couldn’t get on the score sheet this time but his contribution was influential in PSG’s 2-0 over Dynamo Kyiv on Wednesday.
