Tottenham player ratings after 5–3 loss to PSG, featuring a standout 9/10 and a disastrous 2/10
The final whistle has sounded at the Parc des Princes, where Tottenham Hotspur fell 5–3 to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League, and the post-match ratings are now in.
Tottenham full-time player ratings vs PSG
Guglielmo Vicario – The Italian has now shipped nine goals across his last two outings, which reflects poorly on Spurs’ current form. He could do little about any of PSG’s finishes on the night. 5
Pedro Porro – Conceded an unnecessary corner that led to PSG’s fourth goal. Once again, the issue began with Romero losing the ball and leaving him exposed. 4
Cristian Romero – After a fairly solid first half, the Spurs captain unravelled after the break. A sloppy pass to Pape Sarr gifted PSG their third goal, and his erratic distribution later put Porro under pressure, resulting in the corner that made it 4–2. He capped off a dreadful display by conceding a penalty for handball. 2
Micky van de Ven – Offered next to nothing defensively, with Tottenham’s back line collapsing far too easily. Failed to close players down, and his speed made little impact as most damage came from long-range strikes or set pieces. 4
Djed Spence – Tried to provide attacking intent with a few forward runs but ultimately lacked end product. PSG didn’t attack much down his flank, with their main threat coming centrally. 4
Rodrigo Bentancur – A very flat showing from the midfielder. Warning signs appeared early when Vitinha scored from distance, and he and Sarr allowed a near-identical goal after the break. He even appeared to pull out of the shot that produced Vitinha’s second. Did win the ball off Vitinha in the build-up to Kolo Muani’s second, but overall it was uninspiring. 4.5
Pape Sarr – Whether he should’ve controlled Romero’s risky pass is debatable, but overall he struggled, allowing Vitinha and Fabian Ruiz too much space in midfield. 4
Lucas Bergvall – Lively and impactful in the first half but faded as time went on. His brightest moment was the clever exchange with Archie Gray that set up Spurs’ opener. 6
Archie Gray – A performance the youngster can take pride in. He had a hand in both goals: combining smartly with Bergvall for the opener and later delivering an excellent back-post cross. His sharp reaction from Richarlison’s header hit the bar before Muani tucked in the rebound. 8
Randal Kolo Muani – Outstanding. The PSG loanee grabbed his first Spurs goal with a composed volley from a rehearsed corner routine, then added a superb second thanks to a blend of skill and luck as he weaved through defenders. Also assisted Richarlison’s opener. 9
Richarlison – Finished his chance well in the first half but faded out of the match, starved of meaningful service. 5
