Newcastle vs. PSG - Grades: Defenders

4 - Hakimi: Today the Moroccan was that player from the first two matchdays of Ligue 1. With very poor decision-making, the fast player was unable to hurt Newcastle starting from behind, like a pure full-back. Whether due to a technical decision or due to rival pressure, today Achraf did not assume his hybrid role between interior and winger that had so excited the fans.

3- Marquinhos: The bad moments continue to appear in the Champions League for the Brazilian. The PSG captain was largely to blame for Newcastle's first goal, setting the tone for a nervous performance at the Rouge et Bleu defense.

3 - Skriniar: Hesitant and unsure. It was not the Slovak's game. Despite recovering 7 balls in total, the Parisian center-back seemed nervous in the face of suffocating pressure from the British team.

4 - Hernandez: Acting as a pure full-back, he was not so good. His grade goes up, perhaps more than it should because of his goal, courtesy of Zaire-Emery.
