Now whoscored have published their independent player ratings for this Newcastle 4 PSG 1 match:

The highest rated PSG players is their goalscoring left-back Hernandez (6.9) BUT Newcastle United with eight higher rated players.

I think a lot of candidates to be man of the match BUT Fabian Schar (8.2) was absolutely outstanding at the back and then to add that stunning goal… well, I wouldn’t be arguing with anybody giving him star man.
