The ratings from Le Parisien and L’Équipe differ significantly after the spectacular Lyon-PSG match (2-3), where Paris snatched victory in the final seconds thanks to Joao Neves.
Both media outlets attempted to evaluate a Parisian team that was sometimes brilliant, sometimes struggling, against a combative and highly inspired OL during transitions.
On the offensive side, Kvaratskhelia receives between 5.5 and 6, Mayulu continues to underperform (3 to 4), and Kang-In Lee is rated quite well, reflecting a serious and influential match. In midfield, Vitinha receives unanimous praise: 7 from Le Parisien, 8 from L’Équipe, highlighting his major role in Paris’s play. Neves, the decisive scorer at 90+6’, is rewarded differently: Le Parisien emphasizes his goal, while L’Équipe believes his overall performance remains more measured.

Defensively, opinions also vary. Lucas Hernandez fluctuates between 3.5 and 5, Pacho remains stable around average, and Zabarnyi still fails to convince (3 to 4). Zaïre-Emery, active and a scorer, fares well with ratings of 6 to 7. Chevalier, not well supported on the conceded goals, receives a 4 from both outlets, a harsh judgment but consistent with the pressure faced by Paris. Especially on Lyon’s second goal, where the player is far too advanced and concedes an avoidable lob.
Overall, both newspapers mainly highlight the quality of the Lyon opposition and note the Parisians who truly impacted the match: Vitinha, Zaïre-Emery, and Lee. Neves, meanwhile, transforms a discreet match into a heroic evening thanks to his liberating header.
Le Parisien:
Kvaratkshelia (5.5) – Mayulu (3) – Lee (5)
Ruiz (5) – Vitinha (7) – Neves (7)
Hernandez (3.5) – Pacho (5) – Zabarnyi (4) – Zaïre-Emery (6)
Chevalier (4)
L’Équipe:
Luis Enrique – 6
Kvaratskhelia (6) – Mayulu (4) – Lee (6)
Ruiz (5) – Vitinha (8) – Neves (6)
Hernandez (5) – Pacho (6) – Zabarnyi (3) – Zaïre-Emery (7)
