Fairly average scores, probably because PSG tried hard to move the ball around without the acceleration they had at the end of last year. Afterwards, in reality, Nantes didn’t do much; PSG dominated, and we saw a fairly uneventful first match with some good performances from Beraldo, Zaire-Emery, Vitinha, and Mbaye.
On the other hand, we must also take into account the period. PSG not being at 100% at the start of the season is normal every year; we don’t expect them to be there. Moreover, this time, Ligue 1 is restarting while Luis Enrique’s club hasn’t finished its preseason at all. In a few weeks, we’ll see a more consistent PSG; for the moment, it’s already very good.
