PSG vs RB Leipzig Player Ratings

PSG played their second friendly of the season in a 1-1 draw with RB Leipzig. It is the first game against a Champions League-level opposition for PSG after the departure of Kylian Mbappé. This pre season will be all about settling into the team for their new recruits.

Willian Pacho and João Neves made their debuts in this one. PSG are expected to make even more signings with strong links to the likes of Jadon Sancho as well as Victor Osimhen.

RB Leipzig have recently sold Dani Olmo and have secured the deal to bring back Xavi Simons on loan. The latter played against his former employers in this game. Loïs Openda scored their goal. Gonçalo Ramos was PSG’s goalscorer.

PSG Player Ratings vs RB Leipzig

Goalkeepers

Gianluigi Donnarumma– 6/10: Made 2 saves, but could do nothing for the goal. Needs to be better this season

Defenders

Carlos Soler– 6/10: Played right back presumably because Luis Enrique wanted to test out other midfielders. Expected to be sold in this month

Willian Pacho– 6/10: A debut today after signing earlier this week. Completed the most passes in the game

Milan Škriniar– 5/10: Not a very convincing half. Made 0 tackles. His future at the club remains doubtful

Yoram Zague– 6/10: The 18 year old had a decent outing. Created 1 scoring chance

Midfielders

Lee Kang-in– 8/10: Fighting for a spot in the starting XI once the season begins. Created 3 chances, most of anyone in the game

Vitinha– 8/10: Completed all of his passes. Luis Enrique’s first name on the team sheet now that Mbappe has left

Warren Zaïre-Emery– 7/10: Another one who is fighting for a midfield spot. The 18 year old gave a good account of himself

Forwards

Marco Asensio– 6/10: Created two chances but wasn’t much of a threat when it came to goalscoring. Will want to have more of an influence this season

Ibrahim Mbaye– 5/10: The 16 year old started up front today. Looked lost most of the time before going off at the hour mark

Randal Kolo Muani– 5/10: Disappointing. Took 2 shots, missed a big chance and completed just 4 passes

Substitutions

João Neves– 6/10: Signed last week for big money, the Portuguese 18 year old played the second half here

Gonçalo Ramos– 8/10. Scored PSG’s equaliser. It is going to be a big season for the former Benfica man

Younes El Hannach– 6/10: Solid minutes for the 19 year old

Bradley Barcola– 5/10: Didn’t have anything to do at all after coming on

Ousmane Dembélé– 5/10: Didn’t have much to do after coming on

Senny Mayulu– 8/10: The 18 year old midfielder was bright and got the assist for the goal

Marquinhos– 6/10: Kept it tidy, didn’t have all that much to do

Nuno Mendes– 6/10: Solid game, did the job without much fuss

Goalkeepers

Péter Gulácsi– 6/10: Untroubled. He had 0 saves to make

Defenders

Lukas Klostermann– 7/10: Played the whole game. Did decent defensively. His experience will be important

Mohamed Simakan– 7/10: Good outing for him. Would have been disappointed to miss out on the Euros and Olympic squads for France

Willi Orbán– 7/10: Another very experienced defender. Did his job reliably. Remains to be seen how much he plays this season

David Raum– 5/10: Not his best game. Didn’t offer anything much in attack

Midfielders

Eljif Elmas– 4/10: Unconvincing from the North Macedonian. Taken off in the first half itself

Amadou Haidara– 6/10: Solid effort from him. Would have liked to see more of the ball than he did

Nicolas Seiwald– 7/10: The 23-year-old played good one touch football and kept it moving for Leipzig at the centre of the pitch

Xavi Simons– 5/10: Not his greatest outing, playing against his original employers. Marco Rose won’t be too worried about the 21-year-old Dutchman though

Forwards

Loïs Openda– 8/10: Took his first half goal really well. A willing runner into the channels all the time

Yussuf Poulsen– 6/10: Taken off after 30 minutes, the club legend didn’t have much time to do anything

Substitutions

Benjamin Šeško– 7/10: Looked really bright after coming on. Expect a big season numbers wise

Kevin Kampl– 6/10: Another club legend but his time at the top level is coming to an end it feels.

Maarten Vandevoordt– 6/10: Remains to be seen if the promising young talent becomes the first choice keeper this season

Benjamin Henrichs: 6/10: Good effort from the fullback. Big season coming for him

André Silva– 5/10: Not the best game for him. Lost 7 duels, the most for him

Viggo Gebel– 6/10: Nothing much to talk about, didn’t have enough minutes to impact the game

Nuha Jatta– 6/10: Nothing much to talk about, didn’t have enough minutes to impact the game
