Kylian Mbappe - Scores, misses PK in UCL victory Mbappe missed a penalty but scored on five shots (one on target) and added three crosses (none accurate), four dribbles and one chance created in Tuesday's 3-2 win over RB Leipzig.
Impact Mbappe was in brilliant form and pretty much carried his team on his shoulders yet again with Neymar missing and Lionel Messi still clearly adjusting. Mbappe was heavily involved in all three goals scoring the brilliant opener, drawing the penalty and setting up Messi for the second score. The starlet has now mounted two goals and two assists in his last four matches and six of each on the season.

Lionel Messi - Bags first PSG brace in UCL win Messi bagged a brace, with one goal from a penalty on five shots (three on target) and hauled in four crosses (one accurate), seven dribbles, two fouls drawn and four corners in Tu...
Impact Messi was again a bit quiet for a while but then again Messi became Messi in the second half and stole the show with a quick brace. He was smart enough to follow his shot that bounced off the post and put it home with an easy tap in and then bagged the winner with a cold-blooded Panenka from the spot. The maestro has now fired in three scores in as many outings and seems to be gaining some momentum after a quiet start of his PSG career.

Julian Draxler - Assists in win over RB Leipzig Draxler tallied one assist, one shot (off target), two chances created and three dispossessions in Tuesday's 3-2 win over RB Leipzig.
Impact Draxler put a terrific through ball to find the run of Kylian Mbappe for the early opener but faded a bit later on and was overall quiet in a rare start here. He's now mounted two goals and two assists on the season though with merely four starts he's hard to trust in long-term formats.

Marco Verratti - Creates two chances in UCL win Verratti had two chances created, four dribbles, four fouls drawn, three tackles (one won), two interceptions and three blocked shots in Tuesday's 3-2 win over RB Leipzig.
Impact Verratti was at his finest again and turned in a terrific stat line with solid numbers on both sides of the ball. He's already missed a ton of time with multiple issues this season though and is still looking to keep his form on consistent basis.

Idrissa Gueye - Earns caution versus RB Leipzig Gueye had two tackles (one won), four dispossessions and a yellow card in Tuesday's 3-2 win over RB Leipzig.
Impact Gueye had a rough outing here and was far off his best. He mostly made woeful plays including a very unnecessary foul for a caution and that was the reason for his early replacement. The midfielder though is off to a fiery start of the campaign with four goals already in just eight starts and should be back in form soon.

Marquinhos - Concedes two in UCL victory Marquinhos had one tackle won, six clearances and 83 passes completed in Tuesday's 3-2 win over RB Leipzig.
Impact Marquinhos was as usually active on the ball but he's mostly producing short passes deep in the defensive third and hasn't been much of an offensive threat this season. The defender though has been productive in defensive peripheral numbers and has racked up two clean sheets, eight tackles and 27 clearances over his past four matches.
