PSG v Club Brugge player ratings: Mbappe 9, Messi 9; Mignolet 4, Hendry 4

Stars shine as Paris giants ease past Belgians in final Champions League group game

• 

  PSG RATINGS: Gianluigi Donnarumma - 6, Had nothing to do for long periods of the game, but did well to stop Mats Rits’ effort. There wasn’t too much he could do for the goal. AFP

• 

  Achraf Hakimi - 6, Was effective for large periods of the game but did have moments where he struggled to deal with Noa Lang. Could have had an assist if Mauro Icardi connected with his late cross. AFP

• 

  Marquinhos - 7, Was authoritative in his play and even made a good knockdown in the opposition box that wasn’t capitalised on. Helped Hakimi defensively at times. Clashed heads with Hans Vanaken towards the end. AP

• 

  Abdou Diallo - 6, Raced out to make a good block on the edge of his box but looked completely unaware of Rits for Club Brugge’s goal. AFP

• 

  Nuno Mendes - 7, His driven cross was too hot for Simon Mignolet to handle, which led to the opener, while he had the better of Cisse Sandra. His night came to a premature end due to injury. AP

• 

  Georginio Wijnaldum - 5, Was unlucky to see his early shot saved by Mignolet, but the Dutchman had some awkward touches and couldn’t capitalise after being played through. Was anonymous for large periods of the second half. AFP

• 

  Marco Verratti - 6, Won the ball well at various points throughout the game but conceded possession cheaply to give Club Brugge a chance early in the second half. EPA

• 

  Idrissa Gueye - 7, Couldn’t find the target with an acrobatic effort but was composed both defensively and in possession throughout his time on the pitch. AP

• 

  Angel Di Maria - 8, Played a lovely pass through for Wijnaldum before assisting Kylian Mbappe with an even more impressive dinked ball through. However, he did give the ball away in some dangerous areas. Came agonisingly close to scoring a goal of his own. AP

• 

  Lionel Messi - 9, Started quietly before seeing a decent shot saved by Mignolet. However, the Argentine really turned it on and scored a marvellous goal for PSG’s third before winning and confidently converting a penalty. AP

• 

  Kylian Mbappe - 9, It took just 70 seconds for him to open the scoring, before he then masterfully added a second within seven minutes. Also put in superb work for Messi’s goal but wasted the chance for a hat-trick towards the end of the first half. Saw a good effort from range parried away. Booked for a late tackle. AP

• 

  SUBS: Thilo Kehrer (Mendes, 49’) - 5, Struggled after his introduction and was booked in the 55th minute for a foul on Charles de Ketelaere. Did show improvements after that point. AFP

• 

  Ander Herrera (Di Maria, 71’) – N/R, Had a shot that pinballed around the box before being cleared, then came inches from finding Mbappe. AFP

• 

  Mauro Icardi (Mbappe, 83’) – N/R, Allowed Hakimi’s cross to go through his legs when he really should have got a shot off. Eric-Junior Dina Ebimbe (Verratti, 84’) – N/R, Looked confident and moved the ball well on his Champions League debut but saw his shot blocked. AFP

• 

  CLUB BRUGGE RATINGS: Simon Mignolet - 4, His poor goalkeeping saw the ball land at Mbappe’s feet for the opener, but he made good stops to deny Di Maria and Messi. AP

• 

  Federico Ricca - 5, Tried to make things happen down the left hand side with bursts forward, though he couldn’t do much and struggled to deal with PSG’s star-studded attack. Scuffed a shot wide. AP

• 

  Stanley Nsoki - 5, Did well to get back and stop Wijnaldum, then got a good block on a shot from Messi. Though he ultimately couldn’t do enough to keep the score down. Getty

• 

  Jack Hendry - 4, Completely lost Mbappe for PSG’s second of the game. Having been torn apart by him again in the build-up to Messi’s first goal, he pressured the Frenchman well to ensure he didn’t get a hat-trick before half time. Had a more solid second half. AFP

• 

  Clinton Mata - 5, Struggled when he had to deal with Mbappe, but played a good ball for a Rits chance. Smashed a shot that couldn’t find the target. AP

• 

  Hans Vanaken - 6, Stayed composed and played some lovely passes, finding Sandra well for his wasted chance. Was unlucky to see his header spin wide late on. AP

• 

  Eder Balanta - 5, Pressured well when PSG had the ball but was left chasing shadows at some points. AP

• 

  Mats Rits - 7, Was unlucky to see his shot saved by Donnarumma, while his header didn’t hit the target. There was little he could do while trying to stop Messi for his goal before getting one of his own at the third attempt. AFP

• 

  Cisse Sandra - 4, Gave the ball away poorly in his own half but got away with it as Mignolet saved Di Maria’s shot. He had what was arguably Club Brugge’s best chance of the first half but hit it straight at Donnarumma. AP

• 

  Noa Lang - 8, Showed moments of ingenuity but needed more help from his teammates in the first half. In the second, he found Rits with a good cross and tested Donnarumma with a venomous strike from range. Then assisted Rits’ goal with a great drive and pass. Booked for taking a free kick too early. AFP

• 

  Charles de Ketelaere - 6, Got into some good positions and managed to run behind PSG’s defence a couple of times, but couldn’t find the quality in his final product to capitalise. Sent a strike straight at Donnarumma. AP

• 

  SUBS: Ignace Van der Brempt (Sandra, 57’) - 4, Showed good intent and tried to make things happen but ended up giving a penalty away. Getty

• 

  Ruud Vormer (Rits, 69’) - 6, Played some nice passes as he tried to get his side into threatening positions but couldn’t find the target with his free kick effort. Getty

• 

  Noah Mbamba (Balanta, 69’) - 3, Didn’t look up to the game’s pace and gave the ball away cheaply to start the move that resulted in PSG’s penalty. AFP

Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi both scored twice as Paris Saint-Germain rounded out their Champions League group-stage campaign with a 4-1 thumping of Club Brugge.

Mbappe scored twice in the first seven minutes, the second-fastest double at the start of a game in Champions League history, before setting up Messi to make it 3-0 at half-time.

Mats Rits got one back for the Belgians in the second half but Messi then netted a penalty to make it 4-1 and give PSG a welcome confidence boost in an underwhelming European campaign to date.
