L’Equipe release shock Newcastle United and PSG ratings with three 2/10’s and one 8/10

L’Equipe have released their player ratings from Newcastle United’s win over PSG - and they have given some damning ratings to the visitors. Goals from Miguel Almiron, Dan Burn, Sean Longstaff and Fabian Schar secured Newcastle a famous win at St James’ Park against a PSG side that were blown away by the hosts.

Although Newcastle headed into the game as underdogs, they were able to overcome the reigning French champions with relative ease and, back in France, the result has been met with great disappointment. L’Equipe, who are famous for their very harsh player ratings, gave just one PSG player a rating above 5/10 with most players receiving either a 3/10 or a 2/10 from the publication.

Kylian Mbappe, who was much talked about ahead of the game, was handed a 2/10 alongside Randal Kolo Muani and Marquinhos. Goncalo Ramos, Achraf Hakimi and Manuel Ugarte were given 3/10 whilst Ousmande Dembele and Milan Skriniar were given a 4/10 rating.

Goalscorer Lucas Hernandez and Gianluigi Donarumma were given 5/10 whilst PSG’s Man of the Match, according to L’Equipe, Warren Zaire-Emery scored a 6/10. Luis Enrique, meanwhile, was given a 3/10.

Newcastle United on the other hand, were afforded slightly better marks by L’Equipe, however, they were still rather harshly marked. Bruno Guimaraes was Newcastle’s star man with an 8/10 score whilst goalscorers Sean Longstaff, Miguel Almiron and Fabian Schar were all awarded a 7/10.

Dan Burn and the rest of the starting XI were all given ratings of 6/10 whilst Eddie Howe was given an 8/10 - five more than his counterpart in the opposing dugout.
