Ilya Zabarnyi
PSG
Nets crucial equalizer
Zabarnyi scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 3-1 victory against Strasbourg.
Analysis: Zabarnyi took advantage of Marquinhos being rested to start against Strasbourg and made his opportunity count, scoring PSG's equalizer in the 77th minute. The center-back converted his only shot of the match and also created one chance while completing 90 minutes in defense. The goal was his first in Ligue 1 this season, coming in just his second appearance. Although Marquinhos remains a regular starter, PSG's frequent rotation should give Zabarnyi additional opportunities throughout the campaign.
Suspension served
Zabarnyi is no longer banned after serving suspension due to an accumulation of yellow cards in domestic action.
Analysis: Zabarnyi has been involved in a constant rotation throughout the campaign, so that may remain the case with PSG facing the final Ligue 1 and Champions League rounds. The defender is highly reliable for accurate passes and some defensive production against most opposition. He'll compete for minutes with Marquinhos, Willian Pacho and Lucas Beraldo in future fixtures.
Suspended one game
Zabarnyi will serve a one-match ban due to an accumulation of five yellow cards in French competitions, according to the league.
Analysis: Zabarnyi picked up his fifth yellow card in French competitions and will serve a one-match suspension for Saturday's matchup against Lorient. The center-back has been a decent option to rest the starters between Champions League games, therefore his absence will force reshuffle in the starting back line, with Lucas Hernandez as an option to start if coach Luis Enrique wants to rest Marquinhos and Willian Pacho.
