Despite Paris Saint-Germain’s ongoing struggles with consistency and finishing, a few standout players emerged in their 0-0 draw against Auxerre on December 6.
This match marked PSG’s second consecutive Ligue 1 draw, a concerning trend that has highlighted inefficiencies in converting dominance into results.
The Parisians controlled the game but failed to find the back of the net, leading to increased tension both on the pitch and on the sidelines. However, these three players shone brightly amidst the frustration.

3. Kang-in Lee
The South Korean midfielder was instrumental during his 67 minutes on the field, showcasing his ability to combine effectively on the right flank.
Partnering seamlessly with Achraf Hakimi, Kang-in Lee played a crucial role in PSG’s offensive efforts, often cutting inside from the wing to create dangerous opportunities.
- Touches: 66
- Pass Accuracy: 85% (40/47 completed)
- Key Passes: 4
- Crosses: 8 attempted, 3 completed
- Long Balls: 1/3 completed
Kang-in Lee’s productivity and precision in tight spaces added depth to PSG’s attack, although his efforts were not enough to break through Auxerre’s defensive block.

2. Achraf Hakimi
As PSG’s second captain, Achraf Hakimi once again proved his importance, delivering another commanding performance.
His relentless runs down the right flank and ability to influence both defense and attack made him a standout player.
- Minutes Played: 90
- Touches: 109
- Pass Accuracy: 85% (69/81 completed)
- Duels Won: 9/13
- Dribbles: 3/7 successful
- Shots on Target: 2
Hakimi’s consistency and leadership have made him one of PSG’s most reliable players this season. His overlapping runs and defensive solidity kept Auxerre pinned back for much of the game.

1. Vitinha
In midfield, Vitinha delivered his most assured performance in recent matches, taking control of PSG’s build-up play and showing flashes of creativity.
While his influence in creating clear-cut chances remains an area for improvement, his overall game management was crucial in maintaining PSG’s dominance.
- Minutes Played: 90
- Touches: 112
- Pass Accuracy: 91% (86/94 completed)
- Key Passes: 1
- Long Balls: 7/8 completed
Vitinha’s standout moment came from a powerful strike that rattled the post, showcasing his ability to threaten from midfield.
His vision and ball distribution helped PSG dictate the tempo, though his lack of decisive key passes highlights an area where he can further grow.
While these individual performances stood out, PSG must address their collective inability to finish chances.
The team’s dominance in possession and shot creation hasn’t translated into wins, and with a crucial UEFA Champions League clash against Salzburg on December 10, Luis Enrique’s side will need more than just flashes of brilliance from their key players to secure a much-needed victory.
