Without the injured Kylian Mbappe, Paris Saint-Germain crashed out of the Champions League after losing 2-0 defeat against Manchester City on Wednesday night.

Here is how Giuseppe Muro rated the PSG players at the Etihad Stadium...

Keylor Navas 6

At fault in the first leg but could do nothing about the two City goals here.

Alessandro Florenzi 5

Caught out by Ederson’s long ball in the build-up to the first goal and struggled at right-back.

Marquinhos 5

Hit the bar with header in the first half but outdone by a starring display from Ruben Dias.

Presnel Kimpembe 4

Lucky to escape a red card for a reckless challenge on Jesus late on as PSG lost their heads again.

Abdou Diallo 4

Had a difficult night up against Mahrez.

Leandro Paredes 5

Overrun as Fernandinho and City ran the midfield.

Marco Verratti 7

PSG’s best player. A class act in midfield before losing his cool late on.

Ander Herrera 5

A night to forget on his return to Manchester.

Angel Di Maria 4

Looked like the Di Maria we saw at Manchester United before he was sent off for a crazy kickout at Fernadinho in the second half.

Without Kylian Mbappe, the Brazilian superstar tried to make things happen for PSG but had no room to breathe against a resolute City backline on a frustrating evening.

Mauro Icardi 3

Surely one of the most ineffective displays in Champions League history. In the team because Mbappe was out injured, Icardi only had 13 touches in the first half and offered nothing to the PSG team before he was hooked just after the hour-mark.

Substitutes

Moise Kean (Icardi 62’) Hardly saw the ball after coming on.

Julian Draxler (Herrera 62’) No impact.

Danilo (Paredes 75’) N/A

Dagba (Florenzi 75’) N/A

Mitchel Bakker (Diallo 82’) N/A
