Thanks to a brace from Ousmane Dembélé, PSG secured a 2-0 win over Liverpool in the second-leg of their Champions League quarter-final. The hosts had a much better performance but failed to convert their chances, they were ultimately punished towards the end of the game and crashed out of the competition.

Here are the PSG players ratings following their hard-fought 2-0 away victory against Liverpool in the second-leg.

Champions League: Liverpool vs PSG, Player ratings:

7 - Matvey Safonov

The Russian goalkeeper was subject to a lot of scrutiny before this tie, with many fans and observers comparing him to Gianluigi Donnarumma. Despite this massive pressure on his shoulders, he delivered two very solid performances.

7 - Achraf Hakimi

The Moroccan had a very good game as much more was asked of him defensively.

8 - Marquinhos

The PSG legend and captain had an amazing game. He delivered several key tackles or goal-line clearances that were ultimately the difference when Liverpool dominated the game in the second half. He also managed to erase many mistakes from his teammates and proved incedibly valuable in this tie against the Reds.

6.5 - Willian Pacho

The Ecuadorian had a good game but has also been very lucky when his foul on Mac Allister was overturned by VAR just before Dembélé's opener.

6 - Nuno Mendes/ Lucas Hernandez

The Portuguese left-back suffered a muscular injury in the first-half and was replaced by Lucas Hernandez after 39 minutes. The Frenchman who came on early in this game had a good game facing Mo Salah in Liverpool's good period.

7 - Vitinha

The Portuguese maestro had a very good game in the second-leg, controlled the game and gave balance to his side.

6.5 - Joao Neves

The Portuguese had a good game.

6.5 - Warren Zaire-Emery

Just like his team, the young PSG midfield had a much more difficult outing against Liverpool in the second-leg. However, he still remained an important piece of this team, holding the midfield alongside Vitinha and Joao Neves before his replacement at the 82nd minute by Lucas Beraldo.

6 - Désiré Doué

The France international had a much more difficult game this time around and was well defended by Liverpool's defender, which vastly limited his impact offensively. He was replaced after 53 minutes by Bradley Barcola after sustaining a knock.

8 - Ousmane Dembélé

He had a pretty discreet game until the last 20 minutes of the clash. However, the 2025 Ballon d'Or is always a force to be reckon with as he scored two incredibly clutch goals to seal Paris' qualification into the semi-finals of the Champions League.

6.5 - Khvicha Kvaratskhelia

While he did not have the same fruitful offensive impact in the second-leg, the Georgian had a remarkable game in terms of his workrate and how much he ran for his team in the second half.
