William Saliba was faced with the tough task of helping deal with the rampant PSG frontline that included Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Desire Doue and he simply did what he had to in order to help keep them quiet.

He was often well positioned to deal with any balls sent over the top by the hosts and was so calm and composed when bringing them under control. Saliba managed to break away from any pressure with ease to bring the play forward for his team.

The Frenchman did almost gift possession to PSG with a sloppy pass in the first-half, but that was the only negative to take from his performance. While he was unfortunate to see Fabian Ruiz's effort deflect off him, Saliba managed to be solid for his side throughout and prevent the hosts from doing too much damage.
