Paris Saint-Germain won its first Ligue 1 match against FC Nantes (0-1), a success that must not hide the challenges ahead. Coach Luis Enrique stressed his satisfaction with the work of his players, stressing the importance of returning to the “feeling” with the ball after a limited summer preparation. He also highlighted the initially difficult nature of the game and the need for the team to advance individually and collectively, while managing efforts after a busy summer. The original composition, with the integration of new players like Illya Zabarnyi and Lucas Chevalier, demonstrates a desire for renewal and openness.

The victory was made possible thanks to a strike by Vitinha in 67th minute, after a globally controlled game but lacking fluidity and rhythm. Despite a palpable lack of physical preparation, the team was able to rely on its will and ambition to get the three points. The opportunity was given to many young and newcomers to show themselves, with encouraging performances like that of Illya Zabarnyi in defense. The lack of performance and the “minimalistic” character of success are attributed to the short preparation period and to the many changes made by the coach.

Beyond the result, the match recalled a historic moment of the PSG in 2004, with an action by Gonçalo Ramos evoking Paulleta’s unforgettable goal against Fabian Barthez. This victory, although without great elegance, is important for launching the season in Ligue 1 and gives a first glimpse of the team’s potential. The next games will allow the team to physically recover and regain a more constant level of play, with the gradual integration of the executives in the second period.
