The 2025/26 Champions League campaign has reached the semifinal stage, and anticipation is heating up as the May 31st final in Budapest begins to loom on the horizon. Spain’s two biggest teams were dumped out in the quarterfinals, with Real Madrid falling to Bayern Munich and Barcelona falling to compatriots Atletico, with the latter now the last remaining team flying the Spanish flag. English giants Liverpool also fell in the last eight, losing home and away to defending champions Paris Saint-Germain leaving Arsenal as the final remaining Premier League team in the competition after their nervy win against Sporting CP.

L’Equipe player ratings PSG 5-4 Bayern 2026
L’Equipe are notoriously hard to please for player ratings, and it’s perhaps not surprising that no one got a 10 from them here. Luis Diaz and Kvicha came close with a 9/10.
Bayern and PSG’s attackers fared well, but an exception in this game was Jamal Musiala- L’Equipe gave him a 4/10. With nine goals scored, the defenders usually come in for a bit of stick, and some 3/10 ratings at the back contribute to the low average team ratings for both sides in L’Equipe’s eyes, despite the sterling performance of the attackers.
