"Zaire-Emery was excellent at the heart of midfield, setting up Desire Doue's opener to mark his third assist in the top flight in 2026 - more than any other player in the competition. The 19-year-old created two chances, while leading the match for touches (115), passes (98) and accurate passes (93). He also won eight duels, with no player on the pitch bettering that tally, and won two of his four tackles."
"Zaire-Emery was a senior partner in midfield, as he started alongside Dro Fernandez, the 18-year-old who PSG recently acquired from Barcelona. Dro registered 53 touches and completed 39 of 42 passes during his 63 minutes on the pitch, before he was replaced by Joao Neves, himself only 21. And Luis Enrique urged patience when it comes to Dro. He said: "Dro is still young. Sometimes we lose our heads a bit. He has a lot of qualities but we have to take it step by step.""
