Paris Saint-Germain and Nantes faced off this Wednesday at the Parc des Princes in a rescheduled match from Matchday 26 of the 2025-2026 Ligue 1 season. The match ended in a 3-0 victory for PSG. After the game, Nantes goalkeeper and captain Anthony Lopes (35 years old) spoke to Ligue1+.
Lopes: “We should have come away from this match with at least one goal.”
An interesting performance, but it’s 3-0 in the end…
Yes, it’s 3-0. I think they were quite clinical in the first half too. We should have come away from this match with at least one goal. We created a few chances, a few opportunities. We had that offside goal by mere millimeters, some attacking moves that we could have managed better with the final pass. We conceded three, it’s harsh.
Afterwards, I think we had a good second half. We tried to play a bit more, because it was very difficult in the first half. It was a direct game, the ball kept coming back at such a speed. We also tried to take a few more risks, but against teams like that, you have to take them, otherwise it becomes complicated.
Lopes: “Bring the others with me and focus on the positives and eliminate the negatives.”
How are you going to motivate your team this week?
I think everyone I know knows my temperament. I won’t give up until the end, even if some of us already see ourselves in Ligue 2. Mathematically, anything is possible.
I’m going to believe until the end; it’s my role as captain, to bring the others with me and focus on the positives and eliminate the negatives. We’re going to Rennes on Sunday afternoon, and we have to go and get the points we’re missing.
