PLAYER RATINGS
PARIS ST-GERMAIN (4-2-3-1) TEAM AVERAGE 7.3
GIANLUIGI BUFFON 6 Didn’t have a great deal to do. Comprehensively sent the wrong way by Milner from the spot.
THILO KEHRER 7 The 22-year-old German had to be alert to the rapid raids of Mane and Robertson. Coped well.
THIAGO SILVA 8 No longer the world’s best defender but still top-quality. One brilliant tackle in the second half.
PRESNEL KIMPEMBE 7.5 Frenchman kept Firmino very quiet with a dominant and aggressive display at the back.
JUAN BERNAT 7.5 Popped up to open the scoring, showing the touch and poise of a left winger with his finish.
MARCO VERRATTI 8 Some of his passing was sublime but fortunate not to be sent off for a late tackle on Gomez.
MARQUINHOS 7 Deployed by Tuchel to give balance and cover in midfield and, in the main, he did precisely that.
KYLIAN MBAPPE 8.5 Could be an Olympic sprinter. Showed he is the best teenage footballer in the world.
NEYMAR 7 Has you shaking your head in disbelief — for good and bad reasons. Fine goal, depressing theatrics.
ANGEL DI MARIA 6 Flattened by Milner early on and his desperate lunge on Mane led to Liverpool’s penalty.
EDINSON CAVANI 8 Power and aggression put defenders on edge. Inspired goalkeeping stopped him scoring.
THOMAS TUCHEL 8 Had his team wound up from the first whistle and kept demanding his forwards go wide to stretch the play — a tactic that paid dividends.
LIVERPOOL (4-3-3) TEAM AVERAGE 6.4
ALISSON 8 Despite conceding twice, this was one of his best displays for Liverpool. Some superb saves.
JOE GOMEZ 6.5 Chosen ahead of Trent Alexander-Arnold and hung in there after a difficult start.
DEJAN LOVREN 6 Enjoyed the challenge of squaring up to Cavani but trailed in Mbappe’s wake for PSG’s second goal.
VIRGIL VAN DIJK 7 At fault for Bernat opener when a cross bounced off his leg but made a number of big challenges.
ANDY ROBERTSON 7 Sold Verratti a wonderful dummy, but lost his temper when he clattered Neymar.
JAMES MILNER 7 Played like a man possessed with ferocious early challenges. Never going to miss spot-kick.
JORDAN HENDERSON 6 Eager to make up for red card at Watford. Captain was composed but had his hands full with Verratti.
GINI WIJNALDUM 5 Passes off target and almost got himself sent off for a second booking. Unsurprisingly taken off.
MOHAMED SALAH 6 Snapshot of his season: sometimes good, sometimes bad, but always willing to shoot.
ROBERTO FIRMINO 5 His form continues to be a worry and he left Klopp with no choice but to end his night early.
SADIO MANE 7 Pick of the forward line. His pace and desire helped Liverpool find a way back into the match.
JURGEN KLOPP 6 Picked his best team and made substitutions at the right times, but it wasn’t enough to prevent a fifth consecutive European away defeat.
