PSG comfortably defeated Metz (3-0), but media assessments vary significantly. A closer look at the ratings reveals a mix of caution and enthusiasm. Paris took control from the outset, with Doué opening the scoring in the 3rd minute after a perfect assist from Zaïre-Emery. Despite a brief scare when Gbamin’s red card was eventually overturned, PSG remained in full control.
Just before halftime, Barcola doubled the lead (45+3). In the second half, the Parisians managed the game calmly until Ramos sealed the victory with a powerful strike in the 77th minute. A clear, composed win that allows PSG to reclaim top spot in the standings.
Contrasting Media Ratings Highlight Key Performances
Forwards judged differently. Le Parisien remained measured: Barcola (6), Doué (6), and Ramos (5) received decent but unspectacular marks. L’Équipe was more generous with Ramos (7), but harsher on Doué (5) and Mbaye (4). From our perspective (vipsg.fr), the attack earned strong praise: Ramos (8) was named man of the match, while Barcola (7.5) and Doué (7.5) confirmed their growing influence.
A generally appreciated midfield. There was near-unanimous agreement on Zaïre-Emery (7 in both national dailies, 6.5 from us). Lee hovered between 6 and 6.5 depending on the outlet. The main divergence concerned Dro Fernández: rated 5.5 by Le Parisien and 5 by L’Équipe, he earned 6.5 from VIPSG for a convincing first start.
Defense and goalkeeper: moderate consensus. Safonov received a 5 from both newspapers, but a 6 from us for his composure. In defense, differences were minimal: Hernandez and Zabarnyi ranged between 6 and 6.5. Hakimi was rated 5.5 by Le Parisien, 6 by L’Équipe, and 6.5 by VIPSG. Beraldo settled around 5–6 depending on the outlet. Only L’Équipe rated Luis Enrique (7), while VIPSG went further with an 8, praising his tactical choices and game management.
