No surprises in France. Despite a Lens attempt that dignified the competition until the end, the champion was PSG. Galtier’s team has been a roller coaster, incredible until the World Cup in Qatar but disappointing from 2023. The profit harvested in the first part of the season, however, served to confirm his superiority. This is the 1×1 of the best team in Ligue 1.
Donnarumma – Flashing
The Italian perfectly embodies what PSG is: a bipolar team, capable of the best and the worst. The goalkeeper was reminded of interventions with great merit but at the same time he collected mistakes that ruined his season. The team needs his consistency to aim for more. Changed the hero costume to the villain too many times. The lack of competition after the departure of Keylor Navas did not help him.
The note: 5
Achraf – Combined
Fully owned on the right wing, the Moroccan had a great campaign where he confirmed himself as one of the best full-backs in the world. He lacks continuity, but his performance has increased compared to a year ago at this time. He scored five goals, a more than impressive figure for a defender, and provided three goal assists. Since Messi used to play inside, Achraf created an imbalance on the outside.
The note: 6
Marquinhos – Not safe
He always shows his face, even if the Brazilian does not offer the stability assumed for him as captain. He appeared in the picture of several goals against and Sergio Ramos came to the rescue on more than one occasion. This was not his best season. However, no one condemned the central defender or lost faith in him. It renewed until 2028 in a clear gesture of commitment. Marquinhos is PSG and PSG is Marquinhos.
The note: 5
Kimpembe – Failed
He made a great effort to reach the World Cup in good condition but at the end of November he returned from his thigh problems and was not called up by Didier Deschamps. It was in 2023 that the Achilles tendon was broken and he said goodbye early to a fatal season: he participated in only fifteen games in all competitions without being transcendent. He is not expected to return to Camp des Loges until the fall.
The note: 2
Sergio Ramos – Redeemed
Old rockers never die. After a first year at PSG plagued by injuries, in his second he left. The former Real Madrid player turned authoritarian footballer, regained his confidence and led the team without having to wear an armband. Safe, strong and effective. He was at his best in the match against Bayern despite an early exit from the Champions League. The club wants him to continue for a year.
The note: 8
Danilo – Professional
In a season where Kimpembe has barely played due to injuries, the Portuguese has managed to adapt to a role other than midfielder. As a third centre-back, he was extraordinary. Christophe Galtier was looking for a patch for several occasions and finally found a disciplined, professional footballer, indispensable in any champion’s dressing room. Danilo has earned the status of one of the most respected in the club.
The note: 7
Nuno Mendes – Amplified
If it weren’t for his muscular setbacks, he would have signed a season bordering on great. The left-handed youngster is a powerful and tireless full-back, a boon for any coach. A shortcut to escape rival pressure from the back and a collaborator in attack with his space runs. This is the present and the future of this PSG, which despite many mistakes was also right to invest 40 million euros for this boy.
The note: 7
Verratti – Faded
The noise surrounding the club ended up splashing even Verratti. The Italian lived through his worst season at PSG, not being precise at the most important moments. At the Allianz Arena he had a difficult night, with two mistakes against Bayern ending some hopes of a comeback. In the league he was inconsistent, he lost four games due to suspension and the most outstanding thing: he did not score or provide any assists.
The note: 4
Vitinha – Broken
It has become less, as is the general trend of the team. His debut was encouraging as Verratti’s partner in midfield, but after the World Cup in Qatar he suffered a prolonged slump that lasted several months. Vitinha lost importance in the game, it faded. Its quality, however, is unquestionable. He deserves patience because what he has shown adds to a PSG team that sometimes lacks inventiveness.
The note: 5
Fabian Ruiz – Scattered
It was not easy to win the position in the middle of the field with Verratti and the irruption of Vitinha. However, the ex of Naples showed that he has the talent to be on the most important night of the season. Not out of tune Your problem is inconsistency. He did not perform at an impressive level with continuity and generated a division of opinion among fans. You have time to correct it for the future.
The note: 5
Carlos Soler – Numerical
Something strange is happening with Carlos Soler: his figures are better than the sensations he left in his first year at PSG. Three goals in Ligue 1, two in the Cup and one in the Champions League. If you look at the little popularity it has, they are not a bad figure. However, the understanding is that the former Valencia player is not united and the transfer of him is not allowed if an interesting offer comes to release the salary mass.
The note: 6
Zaïre-Emery – Promising
The future is in your hands. Christophe Galtier made his debut at the age of 16 and from the first moment he won the love of the Parc des Princes. Although he plays as a midfielder, his best virtue is that he is a versatile player as he can adapt as a winger or a winger. He is not afraid of anything and makes it clear that he is here to stay. Whenever he has a minute, he justifies the bet.
The note: 7
Renato Sanches – Unhinged
He spent a large part of the season in dry dock, hampered by poor preparation that led him to a series of injuries. It became the image of failure. His recruitment did not go as expected and this is also another one where offers will be heard if they come. He doesn’t have much room at PSG unless he can solve all the problems that have prevented him from showing all the talent he has.
The note: 2
Ekitike – Not enough
After joining Stade de Reims, PSG signed him last summer on loan but with a subsequent purchase obligation. It didn’t work on the pitch. Without many opportunities because at the top he competed with Messi, Neymar and Mbappé, when he came out he did it without confidence. It took him a world to debut as a scorer. Despite the fact that the loss of the Brazilian gave him more minutes, he was not ready for the highest level.
The note: 4
Messi – Creative
With less burst than in years past, Leo is still the fastest reader of the game. One look is enough for him to scan the court and know where to put the leather. A man of technical privilege who knows how to adapt to the times. He was the best assistant in the league but also contributed to revalidate it with fifteen goals, an incredible figure. Although he was disliked by a sector of the stands, his second year was remarkable.
The note: 7
Neymar – Heartbreaker
August to October is the best. Participation, sacrifice and inspiration. Neymar, however, was an effervescent footballer and ended up losing. The World Cup left him with a mental KO. It was impossible to recover from the blow in Qatar and at the end of February he suffered a serious ankle injury that forced him to undergo surgery. Again, the main stretch of the season is gone. It looks like the Brazilian’s story at PSG is coming to an end.
The note: 4
Mbappé – Superlative
This is Mbappé’s league. Among other things due to his ability to score in the hottest moments: seven goals in the last ten minutes of the game. The Frenchman has also opened the scoring ten times. He is Christophe Galtier’s most determined footballer, ambitious despite the fact that France was too small for him long ago. He has a contract until 2024, but president Al Khelaifi will do the impossible to keep him beyond that date.
The note: 9
Christophe Galtier – Conditioned
The man from Marseille won the league, the minimum required of any PSG coach, but he failed in the Champions League. Christophe Galtier suffered in his own flesh what it means to sit on the bench of Paris. A thankless position, exposed to everyone and forced to manage a complex wardrobe. To make matters worse, recent accusations of racism led to a bitter season finale, which only made up for an eleventh league win.
The note: 6
AVERAGE SCORE FOR SEASON: 5.5
