أصبح أحد لاعبي خط الوسط في برشلونة محل اهتمام العديد من الأندية في سوق الانتقالات، ومازال لم يحسم مصيره بعد انطلاق منافسات الدوري الإسباني.

وكان برشلونة قد تلقى اهتماماً من عدة أندية في البريميرليج والدوري الإيطالي، والتي تشير لإمكانية انتقال مارك كاسادو على الرغم من أنه لا يبدي رغبة كبيرة في الرحيل.

وتدرس أندية إسبانية إمكانية التعاقد مع لاعب خط وسط برشلونة الشاب هذا الصيف، وكان جيرونا آخر الأندية المنضمة لسباق الحصول على خدمات اللاعب.

وبحسب إذاعة “راك1 “الإسبانية فإن برشلونة تلقى مؤخراً عرضاً من جيرونا للحصول على خدمات مارك كاسادو على سبيل الإعارة هذا الصيف.

ومع ذلك لم يوافق برشلونة ولا مارك كاسادو على عرض جيرونا ومن غير المرجح أن يتفقا على إجراءات انتقال اللاعب بعقد انتقال دائم هذا الصيف.

ولا يرغب برشلونة في التخلي عن اللاعب الشاب إلا إذا تلقى عرضاً عالياً، وقد يساهم رحيل كاسادو بشكل كبير في مساعدة برشلونة على تسجيل لاعبيه والتقدم بشكل جيد نحو العودة إلى قاعدة 1:1.

جدير بالذكر أن برشلونة افتتح موسمه في الدوري الإسباني بالفوز على ريال مايوركا خارج ملعبه بثلاثية نظيفة.

Cria da Academia, o lateral-esquerdo ganhou o status de reserva imediato de Piquerez, mesmo com Jorge no elenco. Além disso, ele tem a admiração de Abel Ferreira e ganhou uma chance de atuar diante do time catarinense, mas em uma posição improvisada e foi coroado com um tento, que significou um dia especial para o jovem.

– Ah, deve ser o dia mais feliz da minha vida mesmo. Não tem nem palavra pra descrever o que senti na hora. O que estou sentindo até agora, na verdade. É uma honra muito grande poder marcar meu primeiro gol como profissional por esse clube. E junta que foi no nosso estádio lotado, com essa torcida maravilhosa fazendo festa… Não tinha como ser melhor – declarou o garoto.

No gol, Vanderlan contou com uma participação especial: a joia Endrick, com quem conquistou a Copinha deste ano. Para ele, o tento premiou sua boa fase, mas seu trabalho acabou sendo somente empurrar para dentro mesmo, enquanto o companheiro fez a jogada.

-Eu vinha entrando bem nas últimas partidas e isso vai dando confiança pra tentar coisas diferentes e arriscar mais em campo. Mas nem foi o caso no gol. O Endrick fez uma jogadaça ali pela direita e ela sobrou. Aí só guardei (risos) – declarou o lateral.

Por fim, Vanderlan comentou a dancinha que fez com Danilo e Endrick após o gol marcado que fechou a vitória. Segundo ele, a coreografia foi ensaiada previamente com as outras Crias da Academia, que para ele provam o sucesso do clube nesse quesito.

-A dancinha já estava planejada mesmo, a gente já estava ensaiando. E foi um momento muito legal para mim, mas para o Palmeiras também. Ver três Crias juntos em campo celebrando um gol é a prova do sucesso e da grandeza desse clube. Nada explica o sentimento de ser Palmeiras – concluiu.

O Palmeiras pode ser campeão brasileiro já nesta rodada do campeonato. Basta vencer o Athletico-PR, na Arena da Baixada, nesta terça-feira, e torcer para Internacional e Corinthians não vencerem Ceará e Fluminense, respectivamente, nesta quarta-feira.

Western Australia’s second-string attack overwhelmed Victoria on a sluggish WACA pitch in an ominous start to their bid for a hat-trick of Sheffield Shield titles.In a re-match of the last two Shield finals, WA once again had Victoria’s number as they showed off their enviable depth of talent. Without frontline quicks Lance Morris, Jhye Richardson, Matt Kelly and Joel Paris, WA’s new-look pace attack produced a disciplined performance on the final day to bowl Victoria for a second time out shortly after tea.Fringe quick Cameron Gannon was relentless, while left-arm debutant Liam Haskett shone with fast and aggressive bowling. With Morris and Richardson engaged in centre-wicket practice after the match, selection headaches loom for WA’s hierarchy.Tall offspinner Corey Rocchiccioli conjured sharp spin and found inconsistent bounce on a wearing pitch that finally started to play some tricks having been sedate throughout the match. Rocchiccioli finished with the remarkable figures of 3 for 14 from 26.2 overs, including 20 maidens.Having taken three wickets on day one, Rocchiccioli outbowled Test offspinner Todd Murphy, who took just 1 for 141 off 32 overs in WA’s first innings.”He’s going to keep getting better,” WA captain Sam Whiteman said of Rocchiccioli. “The impressive thing is he’s taking wickets at the WACA which is notorious for [a lack of] spin.”I’m particularly proud of the bowling group, which is a completely different attack than what we finished with last season.”Allrounder Aaron Hardie capped a strong match by taking the early wicket of former Victoria captain Peter Handscomb. Hardie, who recently made his international limited overs debut, claimed five wickets for the match and made 48 at number five in WA’s first innings.WA’s attack set up the victory after bowling out Victoria for 256 on day one before opener Cameron Bancroft scored a century to power them into a big lead.With national selector Tony Dodemaide in the terraces, Bancroft made an early season statement to replace David Warner who is set to retire from Test cricket during the summer.But it was a particularly lacklustre performance from Victoria, who were left to rue gifting wickets on day one and they never recovered. The return of Will Pucovski, who made 39 in Victoria’s first innings, from an extended absence was encouraging, and so too was the final-day grit from nightwatchman Mitch Perry.”Getting sick of losing to them [WA], so was enough motivation to stay out there as long as I could,” said Perry, who made 43 from 173 balls.Resuming at 64 for 3, still trailing by 161 runs, Victoria’s hopes of avoiding defeat largely rested with Handscomb but he fell for 2 after being caught behind off a superb Hardie delivery. It ended a disappointing match for Handscomb, who has been keen to shake being pigeonholed as a subcontinent specialist. He lacked rhythm in a first innings of 31 from 85 balls and fell badly after miscuing a whip to point off a leading edge.Hardie, who had opened the bowling, was in a fiery mood with a searing bouncer smashing into Perry’s body and leaving him shaken. But Perry, something of a nightwatchman specialist, gamely fought on and found a willing partner in Jonathan Merlo, who was intent solely on defence.Pinned back to the crease, Merlo excruciatingly faced 36 balls without a run. He finally opened his account with a push through covers for two runs before being clean bowled next ball by a cracking Gannon delivery.Victoria shut up shop after lunch with captain Will Sutherland, normally such a belligerent batter, continuously blocking alongside Perry. They weren’t particularly looking for runs, essentially taking turns holding up an end. Sutherland’s 75-ball grind of 6 ended when Bancroft snared a sensational catch at short-leg off Haskett. Perry’s rearguard finally ended shortly before tea as Victoria inevitably slumped to a hefty first-up defeat.

The Argentine coach is expected to be officially announced by Cruz Azul in the coming days.

  WHAT HAPPENED?

  Cruz Azul are set to make the arrival of Nicolás Larcamón official in the coming hours, confirmed club president Víctor Velázquez. The Argentine manager joins following a short tenure with Club Necaxa and will take over from interim coach Vicente Sánchez—who, despite leading the club to the CONCACAF Champions Cup title, will not continue at the helm.

  Sánchez’s exit, though surprising given the recent trophy, was part of a larger strategic vision. Velázquez explained that Larcamón fits the long-term profile the club has been searching for.

  “We had several interviews with Nicolás, analyzed his methodology, and presented our project. From the outset, we envisioned a team that plays proactive football, applies pressure high up the pitch, and embraces a modern style that excites fans. Nicolás embodies those qualities and aligns with the type of players we have,” said Velázquez.

  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Regarding Sánchez’s departure, Velázquez was clear there is no animosity. On the contrary, he praised the Uruguayan’s professionalism and reiterated that he could return to the club in the future.

  “He came in to replace Martín Anselmi, and we were always transparent that this was a short-term assignment. Thankfully, he brought us a title, but he also understood that this was a defined stage of our project. We’re grateful for his contribution and his dedication to the club,” he said.

  The former player’s departure drew criticism, as he left behind an impressive record of 17 wins, 8 draws, and just two losses. He also went on an unbeaten run of 19 consecutive matches, further highlighting the surprising nature of his exit.

  DID YOU KNOW?

  Off the pitch, Cruz Azul are actively reinforcing their squad ahead of the Apertura 2025. One of the most talked-about potential signings is Serbian striker Luka Jović, currently with AC Milan. Velázquez confirmed that the club has already initiated contact.

  “Any team would want a player like him. Yes, we’ve had some talks, and we hope things mature positively in the coming days. Hopefully, he joins Cruz Azul,” Velázquez stated.

  However, the club’s focus remains on building a cohesive unit over chasing marquee names for publicity.

  “It’s not about big-name signings. We’re looking for players who adapt to our playing model. That’s been the key to building a competitive and exciting team—maximizing talent within a strong collective identity,” he concluded.

  WHAT NEXT FOR CRUZ AZUL?

  Cruz Azul are set to kick off its Apertura 2025 campaign in a month’s time, facing Mazatlán FC in its opening match. While no official signings have been confirmed yet, several names are reportedly on the club’s radar -including Argentine midfielder José Paradela, who played under Nicolás Larcamón at Necaxa last season.

  With Larcamón now leading the team from the sidelines, Cruz Azul are widely expected to be a serious title contender in the upcoming tournament.

Manchester City have now been quoted an asking price of over £100m for an “incredible” forward who they hold a concrete interest in, according to a report.

City set for summer rebuild

Pep Guardiola made a splash in the January transfer window, bringing in the likes of Abdukodir Khusanov, Nico Gonzalez and Omar Marmoush to refresh his underperforming squad, and there could well be a few more additions in the summer.

City seem particularly keen to bolster their attacking options, with Real Madrid’s Rodrygo one of the most recent forwards to emerge as a target, and they have now held talks with the Brazilian’s father ahead of a potential move.

Another attacker on the shortlist is Bayer Leverkusen’s Florian Wirtz, who is expected to cost over £100m, while the Sky Blues also hold a concrete interest in Southampton’s Tyler Dibling, with the Southampton winger valued at around £55m up until now.

However, according to a report from The Telegraph, the Saints are now looking to hold out for over £100m for Dibling, who they believe is one of the best youngsters in England, meaning they are willing to take a hardline stance.

With Southampton almost certain to be relegated from the Premier League, it is becoming increasingly likely the forward departs, and he is set to be one of the most sought-after players in the summer market.

Alongside City, Tottenham Hotspur view the 19-year-old as a serious target, while there is also interest from Manchester United, RB Leipzig and Bayern Munich, who have watched him in action on numerous occasions this season.

"Incredible" Dibling showing promising signs at Southampton

It would be fair to say the youngster’s emergence as a first-team regular is one of the only positives Southampton can take from this season, given that his performances mean they could be in line to receive a sizeable fee this summer.

However, there are major doubts over whether a sum of over £100m is justifiable, given that the teenager has picked up just two goals and zero assists in the Premier League, albeit in a very poor side.

That said, there have been signs of promise, with Southampton reporter Alfie House describing the starlet as “incredible” earlier in the season, while Statman Dave lauded him as a “wonderkid” after a remarkable performance against Ipswich Town.

Dibling is clearly a very talented young player, but he is yet to justify a £100m outlay, and Man City should initially test the waters with a lower offer, given that Southampton are unlikely to be in a strong negotiating position if, or perhaps when, they are relegated.

Mesmo tendo apresentado superávit de R$ 2 milhões no primeiro semestre, o Corinthians ainda busca fazer economias. Principalmente por conta do endividamento que segue na casa de R$ 1 bilhão. E uma estratégia para redução de despesas é se desfazer de jogadores que estão fora dos planos da comissão técnica e em fim de contrato.

+ Com Fausto Vera, Timão chega a 16 reforços na gestão de Duílio; relembre as contratações

Nesse movimento, atletas que recentemente retornaram de empréstimo e outros que estão no clube, mas longe de serem primeiras opções nas suas posições, podem ter um futuro longe do Timão.

TRIO PERTO DE SAIR

Inicialmente, a saída de três jogadores está sendo trabalhada: Robson Bambu, Xavier e Ramiro.

O primeiro caso é o mais fácil para o Timão, já que o defensor está emprestado pelo Nice, da França, até o fim do ano. A ideia é que o clube alvinegro faça a devolução antes do prazo e alivie a folha salarial.

Bambu perdeu o prestígio no Corinthians por conta de falhas decisivas, como no empate contra o Always Ready, da Bolívia, na última partida da fase de grupos da Libertadores.

Com a chegada de Fabián Balbuena e o retorno do empréstimo de Bruno Méndez, que estava no Internacional, a tendência é que Robson tenha cada vez menos oportunidades no Timão.

No caso de Xavier, a ideia era negociá-lo nesta janela de transferências. Mas como o volante não tem ganho oportunidades e está com contrato no fim – se encerra em janeiro de 2023 – a diretoria corintiana admite ceder o jogador sem custos para outro clube mantendo parte dos direitos econômicos, em uma tentativa de receber algo futuramente. Equipes do Brasil monitoram o profissional.

Por fim, Ramiro não faz parte dos planos corintianos para o segundo semestre, último que ele tem contrato com o Timão. O clube, por sua vez, admite que perderá o atleta gratuitamente e, portanto, deseja emprestá-lo nesses últimos meses para aliviar a folha salarial.

Há conversas do Timão com o Santos, para que Ramiro deixe o Parque São Jorge e migre para a Vila Belmiro até o fim desta temporada.

OUTROS CASOS

Outras duas situações semelhantes a que ocorre com o trio citado é do meia Mateus Vital e o atacante Léo Natel. Ambos estavam emprestados para clubes da Europa, mas não tiveram os valores fixados para compra exercidos. Agora, a dupla está de volta ao Timão, mas não fazem parte dos planos para a sequência do ano esportivo.

A diferença é que os jogadores não estão em fim de contrato. Vital ainda tem vínculo com o Timão até o fim de 2023, enquanto Natel possui acordo até dezembro de 2024.

Dentre todas as peças em questão, Mateus Vital é visto com o maior potencial de venda. Já houve, inclusive, sondagens de equipes como Ceará e Grêmio.

A ideia é negociá-lo nesta janela para obter algum valor. Mas, diante do cenário financeiro delicado das equipes interessadas, há a possibilidade do Timão e o jogador entrarem em um acordo para romper o contrato antecipadamente e o Corinthians seguir com uma parte dos direitos do meia para um possível lucro futuro.

No caso de Léo Natel, a direção corintiana deu autonomia para os representantes do jogador atuarem no mercado em busca de um destino para o atleta. Há monitoramento de times brasileiros, mas a prioridade, no momento, é que o atacante atue na Europa.

Caso não chegue uma oferta do Velho Continente, a prioridade do estafe de Natel é que o profissional defenda um clube da Série A do Brasileirão.

O Corinthians tem até o dia 15 de agosto para firmar todas essas definições, já que essa é a data de encerramento da janela de transferências nacional.

تحدث خالد الغندور، نجم الزمالك السابق، عن مباراة الأهلي وإنتر ميامي، التي جمعت بينهما اليوم، ضمن منافسات بطولة كأس العالم للأندية 2025، مُعلقاً على الأداء الذي قدمة المارد الأحمر في تلك المواجهة.

وافتتح الأهلي مشواره في بطولة كأس العالم للأندية 2025، بتعادل سلبي أمام إنتر ميامي، على ملعب هارد روك، ضمن مباريات الجولة الأولى.

وقال الغندور في تصريحات عبر قناة “المحور”: “النادي الأهلي كان يواجه فريقًا أقل منه في المستوى، قدم شوطًا أول جيدًا، ليس معنى ذلك أن الأهلي (كسر الدنيا)، لأنه يواجه فريقًا أقل منه، لذلك الطبيعي والمنطقي أن تكون أفضل منه بكثير”.

وتابع: “إنتر ميامي فريق مهلهل، عشوائي، يترك مساحات ولا يضغط، ويعتمد على نجومية لاعبين كبروا في السن، ونجومية لاعب هو الأفضل في التاريخ، ليونيل ميسي، تشعر وكأن ميسي يلعب بأريحية وكأنه في مباراة ودية، ولويس سواريز ليس موجوداً أساسًا، جوردي ألبا مُصاب، وبوسكيتس منذ أن كان لاعبًا في برشلونة وهو بطيء، لكن كان معه فريق كبير ولا يفقد الكرة بسهولة، أما في إنتر ميامي فليس معه فريق”.

وأضاف: “إنتر ميامي تقريبًا سابع الدوري الأمريكي، تواصلت مع لاعبين كرة سابقين عاشوا في أمريكا، قالوا لي إنه فريق عادي جدًا، تأسس عام 2018، وقبل ذلك النصر السعودي فاز عليه 5-0 في مباراة ودية، وآخر 10 مباريات له خسر 5 وتعادل اثنتين، فريق عادي جدًا وأقل من العادي”.

وأوضح: “أمس الأهلي شعر أنه يلعب مباراة من 45 دقيقة، فجعل اللاعبين يتراجعون ويُغلقون المساحات، ثم يلعبون بقوة على ميسي وسواريز، وينطلقون من الدفاع للهجوم ويهدرون أهدافًا بالجملة، ثم فوجئنا بعد 12 دقيقة بإصابة إمام عاشور”.

وأتم: “الجميع أعتقد أن بديل إمام عاشور هو أفشة، ففوجئنا أن زيزو هو من شارك بديلًا، وكانت مفاجأة لأن زيزو منذ 3 أشهر وهو في البيت لا يتدرب، وهذا تسبب في ضغينة بين لاعبي الكرة الذين يلعبون منذ أشهر وحصلوا على الدوري ووصلوا لكأس العالم، طبيعي اللاعبون يقولون لم يتدرب إلا مباراتين وشارك ونحن جالسين، وهذا ما جعل بن شرقي جالس ولم يُجري الإحماء، المدرب لم يفكر فيه ولم يفكر في الشحات وأفشة وطاهر، وفكر في زيزو، بالتأكيد اللاعبون كانوا منزعجين”.

Quatro jogos com Dorival, três pelo Brasileirão, mudança de posicionamento de um expoente do time, chegada de Everton Cebolinha e um time que vem defendendo mal. Temos algo a falar sobre o Flamengo.

Começando por quem chega: Everton Cebolinha. Contratação midiática e rápido preenchimento de uma lacuna com a lesão de Bruno Henrique, o ex-Grêmio não viveu seus melhores dias na última temporada pelo Benfica. Já se passaram 27 jogos desde a última assistência do brasileiro. O adversário era o Paços de Ferreira e o passe para o gol de Rafa Silva surgiu de um lance forçado após o zagueiro saltar e pressionar o Everton.

+Com Isla, barca do Flamengo chega a 18 nomes em 2022; veja a lista

Já o último gol de Cebolinha foi feito há 14 jogos, no começo de fevereiro, contra o Tondela. Gol que nos acostumamos a ver no Grêmio, arrastando para cima da zaga, tabelando com o pivô e atacando o espaço dentro da área. O que era rotina virou lampejo na última temporada.

A aposta é que Cebolinha reviva o futebol que o levou à Seleção e não o apresentado em sua segunda temporada em Portugal. Por mais que o Benfica tivesse seus desequilíbrios, o time foi longe na Champions League, e Darwin Nuñez, seu companheiro de time, realizou boas exibições e fechou com o Liverpool.

Sem bola, em organização defensiva, Everton Cebolinha baixava na linha dos volantes e chegava a dobrar a marcação com Sandro Cruz, lateral-esquerdo do Benfica. Ponto para ele. O Flamengo, e qualquer outro time, precisa de jogadores que entreguem intensidade atacando e defendendo.

E Cebolinha chega em um momento de queda defensiva do Rubro-Negro. Dá para perceber a olho nu e as métricas não mentem. A amostragem dos jogos com Dorival Jr. é pequena, mas indica uma clara tendência de diminuição do poder de marcação. Marcar não é cercar, marcar não é balançar o time para o lado da jogada. Marcar é colocar a mão no adversário e tentar tocar na bola. São os duelos defensivos.

O Flamengo tem uma média de 70 duelos defensivos por jogo, marca deixada em 2022 por Paulo Sousa. Na gestão de Dorival Jr. no Brasileirão, o Flamengo duelou 49 vezes contra o Atlético-MG (no 2 x 0) e 60 contra Cuiabá e Internacional. Bom, se as interceptações (interceptar é retomar a posse sem o duelo físico) aumentassem não haveria problema, mas as interceptações também caíram. Contando com os jogos de Paulo Sousa, o Flamengo intercepta, em média, 34 vezes por partida. A gestão Dorival, em seus três jogos pelo Brasileiro, não chegou na média em nenhum deles.

E há piora na contagem de Passes Permitidos por Ação Defensiva (PPDA, em inglês, nos sites de análise). O português entregou um time que deixava o adversário trocar, em média, pouco mais de 7 passes. O Fla de Dorival Jr. viu (a expressão é essa) o Galo e o Cuiabá trocarem mais de 11 passes em média. Contra o Internacional, o Flamengo pressionou bem, e o Colorado trocou pouco mais de 5 passes por posse, mas havia uma condição no jogo para isso acontecer: o Flamengo já perdia por 2 a 0 na metade do primeiro tempo.

Para ilustrar com uma situação de jogo, o gol de Nacho Fernandez, na 13ª rodada do Brasileirão, se dá depois que Mariano troca o corredor de ataque com o Flamengo todo organizado na frente de sua área. Mesmo organizada, a defesa rubro-negra não impede e nem dificulta a troca de 9 passes até o primeiro gol do Galo. Se a média fosse mantida, diminuiriam as chances desse tipo de jogada resultar em gol do adversário.

+Yuri Alberto, James Rodríguez… Listamos 20 astros viáveis que seu time poderia tentar

Por fim, o posicionamento de Arrascaeta. Jogador perigosíssimo no terço final de campo, criativo, assistente e bom finalizador, tem se postado como um meia, um interior, em boa parte dos jogos com Dorival Jr. Parece estar mais pela intermediária para distribuir e organizar o jogo, em posições mais baixas que Vitinho e Everton Ribeiro, por exemplo.

Arrasca não é um exímio organizador, não é da posição de Gerson ou Renato Augusto. O uruguaio é letal próximo ao centroavante, ou aberto, para escapar da marcação próxima dos volantes adversários e centralizar conduzindo a bola. Não que o jogador não possa ajudar em outra função e posição, mas a pequena amostra aponta para outra direção.

O vídeo no início da coluna esmiúça um pouco mais os três tópicos acima. Semprerelembrando que a amostragem é pequena, então é melhor classificarmos como tendência do que efetivamente uma mudança. Vale tanto para o posicionamento do jogador quanto para os números ruins apresentados pela defesa do time.

Luis Enrique's men once again showcased their strength in every area of the pitch by silencing the Emirates on Tuesday

Ousmane Dembele's early goal proved decisive, but it was really Gigi Donnarumma and Joao Neves that Paris Saint-Germain had to thank for earning them a 1-0 over Arsenal in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final.

There were less than four minutes on the clock when Dembele silenced the Emirates by sending the ball bouncing past David Raya after being picked out on the edge of the area by Khvicha Kvartskhelia – the 27th pass in a stunning team move.

Of course, from the Gunners' perspective, it was a desperately poor goal to give away, with Declan Rice twice at fault for getting caught in no man's land, but the home side could – and definitely would – have drawn level had it not been for Donnarumma, who made two sensational stops either side of half-time.

In the end, though, Arsenal were lucky to only lose by a solitary goal, with substitutes Bradley Barcola and Goncalo Ramos both missing gilt-edged opportunities to pile more misery on Mikel Arteta's men.

Below, GOAL rates all of the PSG players on show as the prodigiously gifted Neves laid the foundations for a massive away win by showing Rice what a complete midfielder really looks like…

• AFP
  

  Goalkeeper & Defence

  Gigi Donnarumma (8/10):

  Very little to do during the opening half-hour but made a big save from Gabriel Martinelli just before the break and then an even better one in the second half with his fingertips when Leandro Trossard seemed certain to score.

  Achraf Hakimi (7/10):

  As usual, a great attacking outlet down the right wing, but got caught a little too far forward on a couple of occasions, which resulted in him picking up a booking for killing an Arsenal counter-attack.

  Marquinhos (8/10):

  Typically composed on the ball and in defence, making some key clearances when PSG came under real pressure towards the end of the first half. A stunning pass from inside his own half should also have led to Ramos doubling the visitors' lead.

  Willian Pacho (7/10):

  Passing was good, but very lucky to get away with getting his pocket picked at one point after switching off deep inside his own half.

  Nuno Mendes (7.5/10):

  Had the unenviable task of trying to contain Saka but kept the winger quiet for pretty much the majority of the game by winning duel after duel (10 out of 11 to be precise). Is there a better left-back in the world right now?

  Midfield

  Joao Neves (8/10):

  Such an incredibly composed and talented footballer that it's difficult to believe he's still only 20. Neves was pinpoint with his passing, while he also made one sensational goal-saving challenge on Merino and another perfectly-timed tackle on Saka that perfectly illustrated his all-round excellence.

  Vitinha (7.5/10):

  What a player the former Wolves man has become! Vitinha barely misplaced a single pass and did a fine job of protecting the back four while also keeping the ball moving.

  Fabian Ruiz (7.5/10):

  The Spaniard is such a class act. He always seems to to have time on the ball and is always available to take the pressure off his team-mates. Also worth noting that only Neves won more tackles than Ruiz.

• Getty Images Sport
  

  Attack

  Desire Doue (7/10):

  Never afraid to show off his freakishly fast feet, with his dribbling skills posing a constant problem for Arsenal's defenders, while he also worked admirably hard off the ball before being subbed.

  Ousmane Dembele (7/10):

  Broke the deadlock with his first effort on goal, which wasn't the cleanest strike, but what it lacked in aesthetic beauty it made up for in efficacy. Funnily enough, Dembele wasn't that much of a threat thereafter and was replaced in the 71st minute after creating just one chance for his side.

  Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (7.5/10):

  Teed up Dembele for the opener and continued to turn Timber inside-out during an energetic opening quarter. Wasn't quite as menacing for the remainder of the game but still provoked panic in the Arsenal defence whenever he picked up possession and his work-rate was mightily impressive.

  Subs & Manager

  Bradley Barcola (6/10):

  Came on for Dembele for the final 20 minutes but made an absolute mess of a glorious chance to make the game safe by dragging his shot horribly wide of the goal after being put straight through by Ramos.

  Goncalo Ramos (6.5/10):

  Replaced Doue with a quarter of an hour remaining and went up top, with Barcola moving out to the right wing, but he was also guilty of a poor finish himself, after striking the crossbar with an embarrassingly hopeful toe-punt.

  Warren Zaire-Emery (N/A):

  Only introduced in the 90th minute.

  Luis Enrique (8/10):

  Kept faith with the same side that suffered a first Ligue 1 defeat of the season on Friday and was rewarded for doing so. PSG weren't at their sparkling best in attack and the Spaniard's one regret will be that his subs didn't kill off the game – and indeed the tie – but he'll be enormously proud of their defensive discipline from start to finish.
