Willian Pacho - Brillant in defense Pacho had four tackles (two won), three clearances and two interceptions in Friday's 3-0 win against Lille.

Impact Pacho anchored PSG's backline as they limited Lille to four shots on target and saw out a 3-0 victory without conceding. He defended the box well after the early Olivier Giroud chance, staying compact and helping PSG keep Lille's attacks at arm's length for most of the night. His calm distribution supported PSG's ability to build from the back and sustain pressure in Lille's half. Pacho has been extremely consistent in his performances since the beginning of the season and has been one of the best center backs in the world. On the night, he contributed four tackles, two interceptions, and three clearances, none of which were season highs, highlighting how strong he remains in the backline.

Vitinha - Delivers assist for opener Vitinha assisted once to go with two crosses (one accurate) and one corner in Friday's 3-0 win against Lille.

Impact Vitinha helped PSG seize control after Lille's early chance, keeping the ball moving and dictating the rhythm through midfield. He played the incisive pass that released Ousmane Dembele for the 13th minute opener after PSG regained possession in a dangerous area. His positioning also protected transitions, allowing PSG's front three to stay aggressive and close Lille down. The Portuguese midfielder did not contribute to any season highs, yet delivered a solid performance as usual with two tackles, two crosses, two interceptions, and one chance created. The assist was his seventh in 17 appearances this season for PSG in Ligue 1, as he is now the sole leader of the assists standings until Adrien Thomasson plays on Saturday.

Desire Doue - Provides assist in win Doue assisted once to go with four shots (three on goal), five crosses (zero accurate) and one corner in Friday's 3-0 win over Lille.

Impact Doue provided the assist for Ousmane Dembele's goal of the season, picking him out in the box before the forward produced the decisive piece of skill and the lob. Doue carried PSG's creativity all night, leading the match in shots with four, while also registering five crosses and five completed dribbles. His work rate without the ball stood out as well, as he won seven of 12 duels while PSG squeezed Lille higher up the pitch. Doue has now contributed two goals and one assist in four appearances since returning from injury, showing that he remains an undisputed starter and a decisive player for PSG. The young star attempted 10 shots and created seven chances in that span, highlighting that his goal contributions could have been even higher.

Bradley Barcola - Scores late goal in win Barcola scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and one chance created in Friday's 3-0 win over Lille.

Impact Barcola remained aggressive on the front foot and was rewarded in stoppage time when he capitalized on Aissa Mandi's hesitation in the box. He won possession cleanly and finished into the bottom corner to seal the result. The late strike reflected PSG's intensity despite the game already being in hand. Barcola lost his starting role following Desire Doue's return from injury, but he showed head coach Luis Enrique that he can influence matches coming off the bench as a supersub.

Ousmane Dembele - Magical brace lifts PSG back on top Dembele scored two goals to go with two shots (two on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and two corners in Friday's 3-0 win over Lille.

Impact Dembele opened the scoring in the 13rd minute with a driven effort from distance that went in off the left post after PSG won the ball high and Vitinha picked him out. He doubled the lead in the 64th minute with a brilliant solo sequence, beating multiple defenders before scooping a lob over Berke Ozer and under the bar to score what will likely be the goal of the season in Ligue 1. The Ballon d'Or contender remained PSG's most dangerous attacker, constantly threatening with direct running and sharp changes of direction, contributing two shots (both on target) and creating one chance, while showing extreme efficiency to raise his total to three goals over his last two appearances.

Lucas Chevalier - Keeps clean sheet in victory Chevalier recorded four saves and secured a clean sheet in Friday's 3-0 victory over Lille.

Impact Chevalier survived a huge second minute let off when Olivier Giroud's chip struck the bar, before going on to have a quiet night while making four saves to keep the clean sheet. PSG's backline limited clear looks for long stretches, allowing him to manage the game with calm positioning and controlled distribution. This marked Chevalier's eighth clean sheet in 16 appearances in Ligue 1 this season, maintaining a 50 percent success rate. Chevalier will look to carry that momentum into upcoming matches against Sporting CP on Tuesday in the Champions League and Auxerre on Friday in league play.

Matvey Safonov - Resumes individual training Safonov is training individually in the recovery process of his hand fracture, the club announced.

Impact Safonov is still training individually as part of his recovery from a hand fracture and is not an option for PSG yet. The keeper will likely be eased back into the mix, as he remains the backup option to Lucas Chevalier, and the medical staff won't rush him back in order to avoid any setbacks. Safonov could have been part of the discussion for a greater role toward the end of last year with Chevalier not performing well, but the Frenchman's recent impressive outing in the Supercup against Marseille appears to have put an end to those ideas.

Impact Lee is still training individually in the recovery process of a muscular thigh injury and is not an option for PSG yet. The South Korean will likely return before the end of the month, although that return will not be rushed since he is a rotational player when everyone is fit and the medical staff doesn't want to risk any new setbacks.

Achraf Hakimi - Assists in victory Hakimi fully cleared his ankle injury and is an option moving forward as he already found himself decisive with an assist in Sunday's 1-0 victory against Tanzania at the AFCON.

Impact Hakimi finally cleared his severe ankle injury that he suffered against Bayern in the Champions League and is an option for his country and already found himself decisive for the lonely goal that gave the victory to Morocco against Tanzania on Sunday. Hakimi is expected to return fit to PSG after the AFCON and Warren Zaire-Emery to keep the starting role at right-back for the Parisians while he is representing his country.

JANUARY 6 • ROTOWIRE

Warren Zaire-Emery - Registers one assist in win Zaire-Emery assisted once to go with two chances created in Sunday's 2-1 victory versus Paris FC.

Impact Zaire-Emery recorded an assist by perfectly releasing Ousmane Dembele on a counterattack in Sunday's match against Paris FC and could have added more with his frequent forward runs down the right flank, where he created two chances for the fourth time in his last five outings. The Frenchman continues to be deployed at right-back for the eighth consecutive match while awaiting Achraf Hakimi's return from AFCON, but his versatility should continue to secure him significant playing time in the second half of the season.

Fabian Ruiz - Delivers one assist Ruiz assisted once to go with two shots (one on goal) and two chances created in Sunday's 2-1 victory against Paris FC.

Impact Ruiz delivered a solid two-way performance in Sunday's match against Paris FC. He first made an impact offensively by perfectly setting up Desire Doue after a high turnover late in the first half while registering two shots and creating two chances, and also contributed defensively by pressing high up the pitch and recording three tackles and one interception. The midfielder picked up his first assist in 10 matches since returning from a groin injury and appears to be building momentum ahead of the upcoming Champions League fixtures.

JANUARY 5 • ROTOWIRE

Desire Doue - Scores opener Doue scored one goal to go with four shots (two on goal), nine crosses (three accurate) and two corners in Sunday's 2-1 win over Paris FC.

Impact Doue made his first start since returning from a hamstring injury and scored with a powerful strike under the crossbar after a well-weighted pass from Fabian Ruiz in Sunday's match against Paris FC. He could have added to the scoreline but lacked a bit of efficiency, despite recording a season-high four shots, nine crosses and three key passes. When healthy, the Frenchman remains an important piece for coach Luis Enrique, though he has been limited to just 10 appearances across all competitions this season, registering five goals and one assist during that span.
