Was looking at some data and put together some interesting analysis: Out of 296 players in the top five leagues who've tried at least 10 dribbles, Doue's the only one who hasn't been stopped once. Barella's next best at 9 of 11, then Raphinha at 12 of 15.
He's also completing more dribbles per 90 than anyone else in Ligue 1.
Six games, so it won't stay at 100% but its still pretty insane to me... Thoughts?

Safonov: The Russian goalkeeper conceded two goals and could perhaps have done better on the first, given that he got a touch on Haaland's header, but it is his saves that stand out, particularly the last one against the Citizens' goalscorer, whom he denied a hat-trick with a reflex save on his line. Safonov was jostled around, sometimes illegally, at set pieces, and struggled in the air, but he managed to remain solid on his line. With his feet, he was accurate with short passes, less so with long ones.
Hakimi: Facing a Jérémy Doku who was coming off an exceptional substitute appearance at Anfield, PSG's right-back shone and completely shut down the Belgian winger, who only managed to get past him once in the first half, shortly before being substituted. But things were very different against Ndiaye, who gave him a hard time with his dribbling, and the second half was a prolonged ordeal. Even going forward, Hakimi was less prominent, forced to defend because of his teammates' turnovers, as well as his own. But in the first half, he was a genuine reason for PSG's masterclass, posing a significant threat to the opposition goal.
Marquinhos: Ultimately playing in a very central role, since Hakimi was spending much of his time dealing with the right winger, the Parisian captain frequently acted as the emergency firefighter and excelled at what he does best: anticipating situations and intervening at the right moment. This resulted in numerous clearances to relieve the pressure on his defense, but that does not absolve him of the mistakes he made. He was regularly beaten in the air and caught out behind several times, with Enzo and Haaland both missing huge chances from crosses on which Marquinhos left them unmarked at the far post. On the ball, he was impeccable.
Pacho: After an opening few minutes in which he seemed off the pace, the Ecuadorian got his game going with a tremendous defensive recovery run to stop Haaland, setting the stage for a colossal battle between the two giants. The two men traded blows throughout, and the contest was immense. On the ground, Pacho was unquestionably the one who got the better of the Norwegian, stretching out his long legs to steal the ball from him. It was more the other way around in the air, but what a performance from the Parisian overall. In the second half, as the waves of attacks kept coming, he cleared numerous balls and held firm for as long as he could.
Nuno Mendes: The Portuguese full-back was back and put in a highly inconsistent performance. In a rare occurrence, his direct opponent, Semenyo, got the better of him on several occasions, and Mendes really struggled against the Ghanaian. But the Parisian does much more than defend on the pitch, and he alternated between moments of brilliance on the ball and periods of struggle when he had to chase the opposition's right winger. He finished the match playing slightly further forward, and it did not take him long to win a penalty following a well-executed attacking move.
Vitinha: Under the watchful eye of Pep Guardiola, who values the holding midfielder's role above all else, the Parisian midfielder delivered an absolutely masterful performance, particularly in the first half. Ball recoveries, dribbles to escape pressure, surging runs toward goal, switches of play and even a superb goal: Vitinha produced a half that was as exceptional as it was complete, with virtually no mistakes. He was less brilliant after the break, although he still managed to organize a few PSG attacking sequences, but what a masterpiece that first half was.
Zaïre-Emery: Ultimately named in the starting lineup, PSG's right-sided central midfielder quickly justified his inclusion through his appetite for the physical battle and duels. While the game was still balanced, he imposed his physical presence on the English team and subsequently integrated himself remarkably well into PSG's passing patterns, setting up Vitinha brilliantly for the 3-0, even if his decision-making around the penalty area was not always accurate. In the second half, he did a tremendous amount of running to plug the holes in PSG's sinking ship and exhausted himself in the process, losing more and more balls until he was substituted.
Beraldo replaced him, and the Brazilian added some presence in front of his defense with a few interventions.
Fabian Ruiz: As always, the Spaniard played as PSG's left-sided central midfielder and also enjoyed an exceptional first half, capped by the opening goal, in which he was involved twice with two brilliant passes. After an outstanding start in terms of technical quality, his less convincing finish to the first half had foreshadowed what was to come, and he struggled much more after the break, no longer able to recover the ball or direct play as effectively. He was thus dispossessed in the buildup to the Citizens' second goal.
Akliouche: A surprise starter, he came close to intercepting Donnarumma's pass right from the start, but his opening spell was subdued. In a team that seemed to be floating above the pitch, he gradually got swept up in the momentum and found his way into the combinations, linking up increasingly well with his teammates, as illustrated by the third goal, when his pass toward the center was deflected by Zaïre-Emery before being converted by Vitinha. Akliouche also did a lot of defensive work, and he struggled particularly in his duels with Gvardiol, with the Croatian overpowering him physically. In the second half, he understandably faded from the game as the ball reached him far too infrequently, but that did not stop him from scoring a goal he largely created himself, with a superb first touch, a brilliant turn with his back to goal, and a powerful shot.
Neves replaced him for the closing stages and came on to lock down the right flank, an unusual role that he fulfilled reasonably well.
Dembélé: Back in the starting eleven, the Frenchman took some time to get involved, but his teammates eventually found him in fine fashion during the buildup to and completion of the 2-0 goal. That goal brought him into the game, and he then looked more incisive, dropping deeper at the right moments but occasionally giving the ball away in scarcely believable fashion, such as just outside his own penalty area in the buildup to the 0-2. Isolated up front after the break, he only emerged from his shell when he played a good through pass into Akliouche for the 4-1 goal.
Ferran Torres replaced him in the same position late in the game, and the Spaniard tried to attack the space in behind against a City side throwing everything forward. He almost managed it, and in any case did much better than he did with his dreadful missed penalty.
Doué: Deployed on the left, as has often been the case this season, his opening minutes against Khusanov suggested a player lacking precision. How wrong that first impression proved to be, as Doué was composed and clinical in Manchester. He scored with a perfectly placed shot, delivered an equally precise cross for Dembélé's header, and then supplied another golden opportunity to Hakimi when the Moroccan hit the post. Doué achieved a great deal on the left, even if he sometimes lacked the opportunities to do even more when he seemed capable of it. He did not force things, however, and put in an excellent performance for just over an hour.
Kvaratskhelia replaced him in the same position, but he was barely noticeable on the left before switching to the opposite flank. He made a positive contribution to the penalty-winning move, then won a foul after a lovely dribbling run right at the end of the match.
i'm georgian so i'm not being 100% objective about this BUT i think kvara is being treated a bit unfairly these past few weeks. i mean yeah he hasn't started the season well, but remember that he didn't play football for 2 months while the others were playing the world cup. of course he's out of rhythm. he needs to play more to get that rhythm back. whats the purpose of him playing 25 minutes yesterday when we are doing nothing but defending? how is he supposed to do anything in those circumstances? it wasn't like chelsea last season.
or why didn't he play our first champions league match to get some confidence again? he didn't even start against le mans, i thought to rest him for yesterday but then he didnt start that game either?? i just dont get it
and another thing, dembele also hasn't started the season well but still starts every champions league game, while ferran scored like 10 goals this season but doesnt start over him. i'd somewhat understand putting kvara on the bench to set an example for merit based playing time if the same rules applied to everyone
dont come for me, im just annoyed at his lack of playing time, i'm sure he'll find his stride again but i just think that enrique is being unnecessarily harsh on him compared to the others

Goals scored by Mamadou Meite and Adam Ayari. 4 goals from 2 matches in the tournament for Ayari. Shout-out to Arthur Vignaud for making some crucial saves.

I’m a Barcelona fan planning to attend PSG vs Barça on October 20. I’m considering a seat in Tribune Paris or Borelli and won’t wear Barça colors.
Would celebrating a Barcelona goal cause any trouble with PSG fans? Which sections would you recommend for an away supporter?
I know Mayulu is injured, and I trust Enrique that probably sees more potential in Dro than Mayulu, but my parisian heart can't help me wanting to see Mayulu more.
