MARTIN KEOWN’S

BIG MATCH RATINGS

GIANLUIGI BUFFON

BEEN one of the greats but is now past his best. Will be disappointed with United’s second goal.

THILO KEHRER

HAD a shocker. An awful backpass for United’s opener and could not keep Rashford in check.

THIAGO SILVA

A VITAL player for PSG but was made to look shaky by Lukaku’s strength and pace up front.

PRESNEL KIMPEMBE

WILL live to regret the moment he turned his back on Dalot’s shot and the ball hit his arm.

JUAN BERNAT

A CONSTANT thorn in United’s side. Destroyed both Young and Bailly in the first half.

MARQUINHOS

ADDS a steel to the PSG midfield and helps out the defence when they need him. A vital link.

MARCO VERRATTI

AN ACCOMPLISHED player in midfield, with the ball and without. Always looks to start attacks.

DANI ALVES

STILL a top player. Always looking for the killer pass. United allowed him too much space.

JULIAN DRAXLER

TAKES up some really clever positions but his quality let him down on the night.

ANGEL DI MARIA

HAD freedom of the Parc des Princes. Much better in a PSG shirt than he ever was in a United one.

KYLIAN MBAPPE

ONE of the best players on the planet, with raw pace to burn and incredible imagination.

SUBSTITUTES Paredes 6

(Kehrer, 70 min) Meunier 6 (Draxler, 70 min) Cavani (Alves, 90 min) Not used: Areola, Choupo-Moting, Kurzawa, Dagba

THOMAS TUCHEL

THERE was huge pressure on Tuchel’s shoulders for PSG to win this competition and it showed. What a devastating result.

DAVID DE GEA

PRODUCED a strong save to deny Bernat at a crucial point in the game to keep United in it.

ERIC BAILLY

OUT of his depth in a completely unnatural position. Switched off for PSG’s goal.

CHRIS SMALLING

MBAPPE’S most difficult opponent of the season but still gets nowhere near the England squad.

VICTOR LINDELOF

STEADY. Beginning to form a decent partnership with Smalling in defence.

LUKE SHAW

SOLID performance. Every time I watch him, I feel there is much more to give going forward.

ASHLEY YOUNG

A COMPLETE passenger for much of the first half but did what Bailly couldn’t in the second.

FRED

BIG night, especially with no Matic and no Pogba. Brought some good energy to the midfield.

SCOTT McTOMINAY

PLAYED a vital defensive role in United’s midfield. Won huge tackle after huge tackle.

ANDREAS PEREIRA

WORKMAN-LIKE in midfield but did not do too much to create in possession.

MARCUS RASHFORD

WHAT huge bottle he showed to bury the winning penalty. Absolutely fearless.

ROMELU LUKAKU

HE’S becoming deadly again. On the big night, United’s big man stepped up with two huge goals.

SUBSTITUTES

Dalot 6.5 (Bailly, 36 min) Chong (Pereira, 80 min) Greenwood (Young, 87 min) Not used: Romero, Rojo, Gomes, Garner

OLE GUNNAR SOLSKJAER

WHAT an outstanding victory for Solskjaer on the biggest night of his managerial career. The job is surely his now, if it wasn’t already.
