In addition to that, he gave the ball away for Draxler's goal in the first half and never really got into the game. He was dreadful in front of goal too and had zero shots on target, and one shot that was blocked in the 90 minutes. 

As a comparison, Angel di Maria showed off his best side at Parc des Princes. He scored two goals, two curlers into either corner of Ter Stegen's net. He had two shots and scored on both occasions. He played for just 61 minutes but was successful with 19 of his 24 passes, won the ball back three times and only lost it ten times.
