From the source

Only had to make one save, but it was an outstanding intervention to preserve the clean sheet. A quiet night statistically, but his advanced positioning consistently gave Bellingham, Güler, and Mbappé a valuable outlet on the right.

Helped create several effective overloads. Had relatively little defensive work to do, with most of Racing’s attacks coming down the opposite side. Solid on the ball throughout.

Tremendous on the ball again. Played the vital pass out of Racing’s press in the build-up to Bellingham’s goal. Also recorded seven clearances and four blocked shots, including two crucial interventions — one in each half.
