Atlético Madrid pulled off a dramatic victory over Paris Saint-Germain, securing all three points with a thrilling late winner.
Below is a detailed breakdown of the player ratings from the match:
Jan Oblak
The Atlético goalkeeper was tested early on after a mistake from his defense, but he responded well, making eight crucial saves throughout the game, including stopping efforts from Bradley Barcola and Achraf Hakimi. His throw to Antoine Griezmann set up Ángel Correa’s winning goal, showcasing his leadership. Rating: 7.5
Nahuel Molina
Molina was a key figure in Atlético’s comeback, scoring the equalizer in the 18th minute. He continued to push forward, making key contributions on both sides of the pitch and providing solid support in defense against PSG’s attacking threats. Rating: 7
Axel Witsel
Witsel struggled to keep up with PSG’s pace in attack. Though he made five clearances and two tackles, he was often isolated defensively, unable to effectively contain the opposition’s more dynamic players. Rating: 4.5
Clément Lenglet
