From a player who was doubted, Fabián Ruiz is having explosive performances, delighting Paris fans. |
Paris Saint-Germain just had a convincing 3-1 victory over Marseille in the 26th round of Ligue 1 on March 17, but the brightest star in the French "El Clasico" was not Ousmane Dembele, but Fabián Ruiz. With two excellent assists, the Spanish midfielder not only helped PSG win three points but also made the French press praise him.
The tables are turned for Fabián Ruiz
From a player with doubts about his ability to adapt to Ligue 1, Fabián Ruiz has become an irreplaceable pillar in Luis Enrique's squad. His performances in 2025 are the clearest proof of his strong rise.
Fabián Ruiz has not always had absolute trust in Paris. In his early days at PSG, he was seen as a bland player, lacking in explosiveness and unable to show the form he had when playing for Spain. But amid all the doubts, Luis Enrique was the only one who put his full faith in him.
The Spanish strategist once said: "Fabián Ruiz does things that even the media doesn't realise. He understands the game in a very special way."
Time has proven Enrique right. In 2025, Fabián Ruiz has transformed into one of Europe’s best midfielders. And his performance against Marseille was the pinnacle of that transformation.

In 2025, Fabián Ruiz completely transformed himself to become one of the best midfielders in Europe. |
In a tense match, Fabián Ruiz not only controlled the midfield but also created two classy assists to help PSG beat Marseille. The first assist was a delicate, precise pass that allowed Dembele to run down the goalkeeper and open the scoring for PSG. A move that bears the mark of midfielders with excellent tactical vision.
The second assist was a great display of teamwork. Fabián Ruiz could have finished himself but chose to pass to Nuno Mendes, who helped his teammate to increase the score and deal a heavy blow to Marseille's morale.
Looking at the numbers, it can be seen that Fabián Ruiz's role at PSG is becoming more and more important. In the 2024/25 season, the former Napoli midfielder appeared in 41 matches in all competitions, had 2,544 minutes of play, and contributed to 10 goals (3 goals, 7 assists).
Recognition
The French press is notoriously harsh on foreign players, but this time they could not ignore the impressive performance of Fabián Ruiz. L'Équipe , France's most prestigious sports newspaper, gave him a score of 8, the highest in the match.
"The Spanish midfielder had a high-quality performance. Two assists (17th and 42nd minutes), along with intelligent movement. As usual, Fabián Ruiz always knows how to appear in important positions," wrote L'Équipe .
Le Parisien , although giving him a slightly lower rating of 7.5, still praised his talent. "With his characteristic style of play, Fabián Ruiz continued to be one of the most important factors in the match. He made the perfect pass for Dembele's first goal and assisted Mendes with a delicate move," Le Parisien commented.
This is rare in Ligue 1, where the press always favors native players. But with the current performance, Fabián Ruiz deserves recognition.

Paris is going crazy for Fabián Ruiz, and Luis Enrique - who has always believed in him - is definitely the happiest! |
There is no doubt that Fabián Ruiz's role at PSG has completely changed. If he was previously considered a supporting player in midfield, he is now one of PSG's most important factors. Not only does he do a good job of defending, Fabián Ruiz also directly contributes to the team's attacks.
After a brilliant EURO 2024 with the Spanish national team - where Fabián Ruiz shone to help "La Roja" advance deep in the tournament, the 28-year-old midfielder brings that fighting spirit to PSG. The 2024/25 season will see a more complete, stronger version of this player.
Fabián Ruiz will continue to be a key player for Spain when they face the Netherlands in the Nations League. But for PSG fans, the Champions League is more important.
After many years of waiting, PSG is still hungry for Europe's biggest title, and with current form, Fabián Ruiz will certainly be one of the most important factors helping the team conquer the Champions League summit.
Paris is going crazy for Fabián Ruiz, and Luis Enrique - who has always believed in him - is definitely the happiest!
