Les Parisiens are off to a flying start in the Champions League after winning their first game of the campaign against Dynamo Kiev
Carlo Ancelotti’s men showed what they are capable of on their return to the European club competition following an absence of eight years.
Bettor.com now takes a look at Paris Saint-Germain players and how they performed at Parc des Princes on Tuesday.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Salvatore-Sirigu-c32282 – 6.5
The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Italy-c2926 goalkeeper was merely a spectator for most parts of the match but was on alert when called upon. His main contribution was to deny former Tottenham Hotspur player, Niko Krancjar, from scoring in the 75th minute of the match. The 25-year-old
couldn’t do much about Dynamo Kiev’s goal, but was solid in his first Champions League match in PSG colours.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Christophe-Jallet-c9179 – 6
The Frenchman was solid at the back and was impressive in going forward. However, the PSG captain made some rash tackles in the game and would want to avoid such mistakes in the up-coming matches.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 – 8
The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 player was as composed as ever in his first Champions League appearance for the Ile giants, and got on the score sheet with a well taken goal.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Thiago-Silva-c34903 – 9 (Top of the match)
The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Brazil-c2858 international once again showed why people call him the best centre-back in the world. The former Milan player was making his PSG debut, and Silva did his reputation no harm with a spectacular goal.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Maxwell-c25051 – 6.5
The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 player kept things simple and it was a no-nonsense game from the oldest player on the field. Unlike his fellow full-back, Maxwell didn’t make a lot of forward runs but played a good game nonetheless.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Blaise-Matuidi-c7681 – 6
It was an energetic performance from the midfielder and his distribution was crucial for the Parisiens. A good and solid outing from the Frenchman.
Clement Chantome – 7
The 25-year-old was preferred to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Thiago-Motta-c34897 in the midfield, and proved his coach’s decision right by putting in a disciplined performance. The Frenchman was the only player in Paris Saint-Germain’s starting eleven that came through their youth system,
and the player will remember this game for the rest of his career.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jeremy-Menez-c18345 – 8
Carlo Ancelotti believes that the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 international was the key player for PSG at Parc des Princes, in their Champions League game on Tuesday. The 25-year-old was a constant threat for the visitors and won a crucial penalty with a clever piece of skill.
Javier Pastor – 8
The Argentinean has started to show his true worth after yet another impressive outing in Paris Saint-Germain colours. One of his best games of the season, the attacking midfielder caused Dynamo Kiev all kind of troubles and got a deserving goal in the later
stages of the match.
Marco Verratti – 8.5
The youngster repaid the faith shown in him by the coach with a solid performance in the centre of the field. The former Palermo man looked full of confidence and handled the pressure of playing in the Champions League pretty well.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Zlatan-Ibrahimovic-c38029 – 8
The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sweden-c3015 international became the first player to feature for six teams in the Champions League. The striker converted from the spot and would have scored few more but was denied by the goalkeeper.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Zoumana-Camara-c38101 – 6
Replaced Silva with 10 minutes remaining on the clock, and played with confidence at the back.
Nene – 7
The Brazilian threatened to score after coming from the bench, but it wasn’t his day.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ezequiel-Lavezzi-c13073 – 6
Played for 20 minutes but didn’t cause much trouble to Dynamo Kiev.
