This Friday, during the encounter between Ukraine and France, four PSG players played. Bradley Barcola was good, although he sinned in his finishing.
During this international break, 16 PSG players were called up to their respective national teams.
Yesterday, during the encounter between Ukraine and France within the framework of the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers, four players from the European champions played.
On the French side, Bradley Barcola and Désiré Doué were starters. The first mentioned was one of the most dangerous French players.
The decisive assistant for Michael Olise's goal, PSG's number 29, did not spare any effort and did not hesitate to drop back to help in defence. The only 'but' is his lack of effectiveness in front of goal, he who had a big chance against the Ukrainians.
He received a rating of 6 in Le Parisien and in L’Equipe: "Very generous, he pressed effectively and provided the opening goal for Olise after pinning Konoplia (10th min). He ran out of steam too quickly after performing well in his first half and disappeared afterwards, before missing in front of goal from an excellent position (75th min)."
'For Sporting Merits' - Rodri Picks Two PSG Stars Over Pedri and Lamine Yamal for Ballon d'Or
Winner in 2024, Rodri was questioned about the 2025 Ballon d'Or. And the Spanish midfielder would give this award to a PSG player.
Also a starter, Désiré Doué had to come off due to injury at half-time. He received a 5 in both dailies.
"On the right wing, he caused a lot of problems and sometimes lacked the precision to be truly impactful. His left-footed shot was caught by Trubin (19th min)," noted Le Parisien.
For its part, L’Equipe explains that he "attempted gestures that were too complicated, which led to him losing the ball. His first shot is too weak (19th min)."
The sports daily also gave ratings to the Ukrainian players and gave a 4 to Illia Zabarnyi: "Illia Zabarnyi's evening will not remain unforgettable. Yes, the new Parisian could have been the hero from that close-range header (66th min), but overall, he suffered against the French pressure and couldn't cope with Mbappé for the second goal."
