Paris Saint-Germain piled more misery upon scandal-hit Manchester City with a 4-2 win while Real Madrid struck three late goals to defeat Roma 4-3 in the Champions League

Enzo Fernandez - Whips in 12 crosses Fernandez generated three shots (zero on goal), 12 crosses (four accurate) and eight corners in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to Paris Saint-Germain.

Impact Fernandez had plenty of action in the attack for City, recording three shots, six chances created and 12 crosses in the loss. However, he would fail to do much with his chances, as he walked away without a goal contribution. In addition to his activity in the attack, he was handed set-piece duties, bagging eight corner kicks as well.

Antoine Semenyo - Six shots, fails to score Semenyo generated six shots (one on goal), one cross (one accurate) and three chances created in Wednesday's 4-2 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain. In addition, he was given a yellow c...

Impact Semenyo was all around the net for City on Wednesday but was unable to secure a goal, with all six shots going to waste. He would walk away without a goal contribution at all, adding three chances created to go along with his high volume of shots. He is now without a goal or assist in either UCL appearance this season.

Ayyoub Bouaddi - Earns first City assist Bouaddi assisted once to go with one cross (zero accurate) and two chances created in Wednesday's 4-2 loss against Paris Saint-Germain.

Impact Bouaddi was given his chance to play Wednesday following halftime, playing 45 minutes from the bench. The midfielder would do well to attempt to get City back in the game, finding Erling Haaland in the 75th minute for City's second goal of the game. This does give the new signing his first goal contribution since joining the club, taking five appearances (one start) to get there.

Gianluigi Donnarumma - Allows four against PSG Donnarumma recorded six saves and allowed four goals in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to Paris Saint-Germain.

Impact Donnarumma would have six saves in net Wednesday but still had a rough match, allowing four goals in defeat. This comes after a clean sheet in their UCL opener, although they did take a major step up in opponents, facing Porto when they earned the clean sheet. He will now look to regroup when facing Ipswich Town in league play on Saturday, then returning to UCL play on Oct. 20 to face AEK Athens.

Iliman Ndiaye - Gets first goal contribution with City Ndiaye came on at half-time, providing one assist along with four shots (two on target), one cross (one accurate), and one chance created in Wednesday's 4-2 defeat to Paris Saint-G...

Impact Ndiaye replaced Jeremy Doku on the left at half time with City trailing by three, and he gave the hosts a spark off the bench. The winger set up Erling Haaland's header from his only chance created to register his first goal contribution for the club, and he completed four dribbles and took four shots without finding the net himself. It was a strong response after he was dropped following two straight starts, though a regular place in the starting lineup is far from guaranteed with Doku, Antoine Semenyo and Phil Foden all in the mix.

Erling Haaland - Scores brace against PSG Haaland scored two goals to go with eight shots (three on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and two chances created in Wednesday's 4-2 defeat against Paris Saint-Germain.

Impact Haaland did everything he could to drag City back into the contest against PSG, scoring both goals for the hosts after the Parisians had raced clear in the first half. His header from an Iliman Ndiaye ball sparked some life into City soon after the restart, and he added another from Ayyoub Bouaddi's pass, though the deficit proved too big to overturn. He fired off eight shots and nearly made it a hat trick with a late chance at the back post. It was a frustrating night for City, but Haaland was the one bright spot as the focal point of their attack.

Ayyoub Bouaddi - Creates two chances off bench Bouaddi generated one shot (zero on goal) and two chances created in Sunday's 3-0 win versus Liverpool. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 86th minute.

Impact Bouaddi made an impact in a substitute appearance against Liverpool, registering one shot and two chances created despite his limited playing time. The young midfielder has made three Premier League appearances this season, all off the bench, while his only start across competitions came against Porto in the Champions League. With Elliot Anderson and Enzo Fernandez ahead of him in the midfield hierarchy, Bouaddi remains primarily a rotational option as he looks to earn more consistent playing time.

Ruben Dias - Solid defensively against Liverpool Dias generated three clearances and one interception in Sunday's 3-0 win versus Liverpool.

Impact Dias delivered another solid defensive performance against Liverpool, contributing one interception and three clearances as Manchester City kept a clean sheet at Anfield. The Portuguese center-back has played every minute of City's six Premier League matches this season, recording one tackle, four interceptions and 23 clearances. His consistent playing time underlines his importance to City's defensive organization, with Dias firmly established as a regular starter at the heart of the back line.

Phil Foden - Suspension over Foden is no longer suspended and is an option for his club moving forward.

Impact Foden had to serve a suspension for City's 3-0 win over Liverpool on Sunday, but is now eligible to play again, set to face Ipswich Town in their next league match. He has started in three of his four appearances this season, having yet to bag a goal but earning two assists. He will likely return to a role on the right flank, moving Iliman Ndiaye back to more of a bench role.

OCTOBER 11 • ROTOWIRE

Gianluigi Donnarumma - Six saves for win Donnarumma recorded six saves and secured a clean sheet in Sunday's 3-0 victory versus Liverpool.

Impact Donnarumma faced six shots during Sunday's win, and was excellent throughout the match. He stood on his head during the first half as Liverpool tried to pile on the pressure. In the second half Liverpool had a player sent off, which opened the door for Donnarumma to waltz to a clean sheet.

OCTOBER 11 • ROTOWIRE

Matheus Nunes - Busy defensively Matheus Nunes had two tackles (one won), two clearances and one interception in Sunday's 3-0 victory over Liverpool.

Impact Nunes had plenty to do during Sunday's clash, as he was left tasked with handling most of the defensive duty throughout the match. He did that well and earned the clean sheet, which seemed all but guaranteed after Liverpool had someone sent off. Nunes will need to be even better in a mid-week clash against PSG.

Nico O'Reilly - Quiet before coming off O'Reilly registered one cross (zero accurate) and one tackle in Sunday's 3-0 win versus Liverpool. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 58th minute.

Impact O'Reilly sent in a single cross and made one tackle during Sunday's win. It was a day to forget individually, but obviously the result was an excellent one for O'Reilly. He will hope to make the most of his chances as City head into one of the toughest segments of their schedule in the coming weeks.

OCTOBER 11 • ROTOWIRE

Antoine Semenyo - Wasteful in win Semenyo registered one shot (zero on goal), three crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 3-0 win over Liverpool.

Impact Semenyo was wasteful Sunday, but he could have had an assist on two occasions if not for last-gasp tackles that denied him. Still, with the space he had he would have wanted to make more of his chances. Semenyo has plenty of upside to move forward, but he needs to be more efficient.
