TOPS

Less than a month after his first steps with PSG, Manuel Ugarte already seems indispensable in the Parisian midfield. The Uruguayan international once again delivered a very impressive performance against OL. As valuable in recovery as in construction, the player recruited from Sporting Portugal is involved in the first three goals for PSG. His effective pressing on Tolisso, at the origin of the penalty at the very start of the match, ideally launched his people in this clash of extremes.

As against Lens last weekend (3-0), PSG were able to rely on a very efficient attacking trio. Back in favor in his left lane, Kylian Mbappé offered himself a new double, which allows him (already) to take control of the scorer rankings. In legs and effective against Lopes, the Parisian star seems much more fulfilled alongside his two new friends. Very fair in point, Marco Asensio participated in the Parisian festival by scoring the third goal. And on the right, Ousmane Dembélé hurt the Lyon defense. Very punchy, but also inspired in his choices, the former Barça player seems to fit perfectly into the collective. To confirm.

Large winner on the lawn of Groupama Stadium (1-4), PSG was nevertheless able to count on a great Gianluigi Donnarumma this Sunday. The Parisian doorman, not really blameless since his arrival in the summer of 2021, put on a real show in front of his cage, performing several spectacular and effective parades. Like his interventions in front of Tolisso (34th) and Nuamah (72nd). Only Tolisso, from the penalty spot, managed to surprise the Parisian international, who clearly achieved one of the best performances with the capital club.

FLOPS

Lyon defenseless. In just four days, OL have already conceded ten goals. Including eight on his own lawn. In a Rhone rearguard still too feverish this Sunday, Sinaly Diomandé suffered particularly badly. The number 2 of Gones appeared exceeded on many Parisian offensives. Often late, like his passivity on Asensio’s goal at the end of the first period. His association with Caleta-Car, in the absence of Lovren, has been absolutely nothing reassuring since the start of the season.

Orphan of Lacazette (suspended), OL started the game in 4-3-3, with Tino Kadewere in the lead. But the 27-year-old didn’t exist in this game. Isolated and muzzled by the Marquinhos-Skriniar pair, he only touched sixteen small balls and did not know how to be dangerous, while the Gones got two real highlights in the first period. Laurent Blanc did not appreciate his performance and replaced him at the break, with a more prominent Mama Baldé after returning from the locker room.
