Discover our tops and our flops following PSG's victory in Lens (1-2) on Saturday during the 18th day of Ligue 1.
The tops
Bradley Barcola
For several weeks, even months, the man who was supposed to be the new offensive leader of Paris Saint-Germain had been skating. He recovered in Lens with an assist for the equalizer from Fabian Ruiz (1-1, 59th) and especially this magnificent goal in the 86th minute to seal the 2-1 victory.
Gianluigi Donnarumma
The Italian goalkeeper, who really couldn't do much on the Lensois goal, made several decisive saves and particularly this strike from Jonathan Gradit at 1-1 (82nd) on a magnificent horizontal shot. He reminds us that in these situations, he remains one of the best in the world.
M'Bala Love
The powerful Lensois attacker weighed, it is obvious, on the Parisian defense. In addition to his Fox opener at the far post from a corner, he was denied a second goal in the second half for offside (justified, but only narrowly) and was a constant danger.
-The flops
Lucas Beraldo
The young Brazilian defender did not score any points at Bollaert, showing himself feverish in his interventions and his placement. He doesn't come out quickly enough on the Lensois goal, among other approximations which are unlikely to earn him his place for the big occasions.
Kang-In Lee
As too often, the former Valencia and Mallorca player was of little use in the Parisian offensive trident. It is no coincidence that he was replaced at the hour mark by Gonçalo Ramos who, although he did not score this time, made the game more fluid with his pivot position.
Malang Sarr
Initially strong, the central defender was guilty in the first half, but his goalkeeper Hervé Koffi saved him against Bradley Barcola. But this was no longer the case on the equalizing goal, when he only sought to claim the fault and let the former Lyonnais turn into a decisive passer.
