Paris Saint-Germain youngster among top performers in Ligue 1

Paris Saint-Germain extended their lead at the top of Ligue 1 to 17 points after capitalising on Lille’s draw with Strasbourg to beat Nimes 3-0. Lyon also slipped up and are now in danger of falling out of the top four after a 2-0 defeat to Monaco.

Only one side from the bottom seven in Ligue 1 actually lost this weekend and here we round up the top five WhoScored rated performers from gameweek 26.

5. Juan Bernat (Paris Saint-Germain) – 8.49 rating

Juan Bernat occupied a spot in Paris Saint-Germain’s back three in their 3-0 win over Nimes but still managed to provide an assist. The Spaniard set up Kylian Mbappe’s firs goal of the game, while also helping PSG keep a clean sheet with five tackles and two clearances. The 25-year-old completed three dribbles and completed 89.5% of his passes.

4. Arber Zeneli (Reims) – 8.55 rating

Reims have the longest current unbeaten streak in Ligue 1 after stretching their run to 10 matches without defeat at the weekend.  On his full league debut for the club, Arber Zeneli played a direct hand in two of the four goals Reims scored in a 4-2 win over Montpellier. He registered four key passes, completed four dribbles and had three shots, while also chipping in with four tackles.

3. Neven Subotic (Saint-Etienne) – 8.55 rating

Neven Subotic proved an unlikely match-winner for Saint-Etienne in their 1-0 win away to Dijon. The former Borussia Dortmund centre-back unsurprisingly picked up the WhoScored Man of the Match award after scoring his first league goal of the campaign. Subotic won six aerial duels; made seven clearances and also weighed in with five tackles and interceptions combined.

2. Christopher Nkunku (Paris Saint-Germain) – 8.92 rating

Christopher Nkunku grasped his opportunity with both hands at the weekend by turning in a WhoScored Man of the Match performance against Nimes. The 21-year-old played a direct hand in two goals in the win, while completing three tackles, four dribbles and 90.9% of his passes.

1. Valentin Rongier (Nantes) – 9.47 rating

Nantes midfielder Valentin Rongier is eyeing a fine run of form at the moment and finished gameweek 26 in Ligue 1 as the highest WhoScored rated player. Rongier supplied the assist for Nantes’ match-winner in a 1-0 win over Bordeaux. The 24-year-old registered six key passes in total, while also completing four dribbles and seven tackles and interceptions combined.
