While the final score was lopsided, Paris Saint-Germain struggled to create separation against Le Havre, as evidenced by goalkeeper Chevalier's strong performance. But Paris could count on a great Neves, as always, and a few individuals who delivered at the right moment. Here are the player ratings for the 3-0 win:
Lucas Chevalier (7): Important saves when the match was still open, a bit of luck too when the post saved him, but overall a convincing performance from him.

Ilya Zabarnyi (6): A quiet first half, another solid and diligent one.
Lucas Beraldo (4): Clearly targeted by Le Havre, some very visible errors that could have been costly, but better as the game went on.
Nuno Mendes (6): A superb assist, some sharp attacking runs, but a defensive performance marked by numerous errors.
Vitinha (5): An economical match, and with far more errors than usual from the Parisian metronome.
Joao Neves (7): Precise in everything, always well-positioned, and a breakthrough goal that did a lot of good.

Kang-In Lee (7): A technical exhibition for 55 minutes, with a nice goal and superb crosses.
Goncalo Ramos (3): Controls, shots, passes - the waste is immense and he constantly plays out of sync.
Ibrahim Mbaye (5): Lots of good intentions and plenty of driving runs, but he must do much better in front of the goal.
