On Thursday evening, the French national team secured a 2-0 victory over Ireland at Parc des Princes, bringing them closer to qualifying for Euro 2024.
Several PSG players participated in this match, including Lucas Hernandez, Kylian Mbappé, and Ousmane Dembélé. Here are their ratings:
**Lucas Hernandez** – 6/10 (Le Parisien): « For his return to the national team, the new PSG player played in the center rather than on the left. Impactful in duels, he only missed a few passes. » (L’Équipe also gave him a rating of 6/10, stating, « His return to the center didn’t unsettle him too much, and he controlled his area well. He covered for his brother in his long runs and launched Theo right from the start of the match. »)
**Ousmane Dembélé** – 6/10 (L’Équipe): « Irish defenders didn’t have a great evening in his company. Most of his ball receptions ended with a successful dribble (5 out of 7). The left post of Bazunu prevented him from being rewarded with a goal (72nd minute), just before being replaced by Kingsley Coman. » (Le Parisien rated him 5.5/10, stating, « Many accelerations, successful dribbles, he made his opponent dizzy but lacked efficiency in the final touch. He was still involved in the first goal from the right side. He hit the outside post just before being substituted. »)

**Kylian Mbappé** – 5/10 (Le Parisien): « Not very inspired, the French captain lacked accuracy. However, he provided an assist to Tchouaméni for the opening goal. He also had the shot that was deflected just before the second goal. Even when less radiant, the Parisian remains a constant threat. » (L’Équipe also rated him 5/10, stating, « We will stick to a generally disappointing impression, even though the Parisian provided an assist (19th minute) for the first French goal and was involved in the second. But he could have done so much better. Whether in his choices, controls, or offensive opportunities, he had an unusual amount of waste. »)
