Loser: Adrien Rabiot
Locked in contract talks with PSG and apparently seeking a move to a European superpower, the midfielder did little to enhance his reputation in this encounter. He has actually been one of the club’s standout players in the early part of the season, but given that he is fishing for a €10 million-per-season contract, his performance was entirely insufficient.
Along with Marquinhos, he was expected to provide an anchor and foundation from which the team could build attacks, but instead was guilty as anyone with regards to giving the ball away cheaply.
It would be unfair to burden him with the responsibility of allowing the game to be too easily presented to the home team, but there is little doubt that he could have played a greater role. And with his future in the balance, his performance won’t have had the likes of Barcelona and Chelsea swooning.
