France player ratings vs Paraguay: Kylian Mbappe makes no mistake from the spot to draw level with Lionel Messi again - but les Bleus' stellar forward line fails to impress in laboured last-16 win

Mike Maignan (6/10):

The AC Milan goalkeeper had to be alert to deal with a couple of crosses into the area but he was untroubled for the most part.

Jules Kounde (6/10):

Didn't have much to do defensively, meaning he was able to get forward a lot.

Dayot Upamecano (6/10):

The few times that Paraguay ventured forward, the Bayern Munich centre-back showed off his impressive strength to snuff out any danger.

William Saliba (6/10):

A pretty straightforward evening for the Arsenal defender. Even when he was called into action, his pace ensured he was never put under any real pressure.

Lucas Digne (6/10):

Didn't really offer much going forward but hard to fault him defensively.

Manu Kone (7/10):

Despite picking up a booking for a poor tackle, he was one of France's better performers and responsible for one of France's best efforts on goal but his well-struck shot from distance was tipped over by Orlando Gill.

Adrien Rabiot (5/10):

Put himself about and took a couple of heavy hits for that every reason - but this was one of those games where people question what he brings to the team.

Ousmane Dembele (5/10):

Whipped over a couple of decent crosses but the Ballon d'Or winner was nowhere near his usual level.

Michael Olise (4/10):

A really disappointing display from the Bayern Munich ace, who created one chance all game - and even that was in injury time when Paraguay were starting to push forward.

Bradley Barcola (4/10):

Looked dangerous on a couple of occasions but the Paris Saint-Germain winger was pretty quiet for the most part. Unsurprisingly replaced by his club-mate Desire Doue just after the hour mark.

Kylian Mbappe (7/10):

A relatively quiet game by his standards until he broke the deadlock with the minimum of fuss and will probably feel he should have scored again in the dying seconds. Still, he's back level with Lionel Messi on seven goals in the race for the Golden Boot.

Desire Doue (7/10):

Came on in the 61st minute and won a penalty just five minutes later. Will now be optimistic about his hopes of starting ahead of Barcola against Morocco.

Rayan Cherki (N/A):

Replaced Dembele with less than five minutes of normal time remaining.

Didier Deschamps (6/10):

Will be a little disappointed with his side's lack of cutting edge but breaking down Paraguay was never going to be easy. Deschamps will doubtless just be happy to avoided this potential banana skin - and without suffering any injuries - but France will need to be back at their brilliant best to beat Morocco. Also, dare we suggest that he might make better use of his bench going forward...
