On Friday evening, the Paris Saint-Germain and Nantes women’s teams faced off at the PSG Campus during Matchday 3 of the 2026-2027 Première Ligue Arkéma. Following PSG’s victory (1-0)—achieved despite a red card in the 57th minute—Paris coach Paulo César spoke to PSG TV.
Paulo César: “They believed in this victory right to the end.”
A third consecutive win—a very strong start to the season?
Yes, that’s right. And the clean sheet, too—a third clean sheet is great. I think this victory is the reward for everything the girls produced on the pitch, from start to finish. Even with that game-changing moment—the red card—the girls stayed focused and united. What they showed was that they believed in this victory right to the very end.
Paulo César: “It is the collective effort that is being rewarded.”
They secured the win thanks to a wonderful goal from Merveille (Kanjinga). I am very happy and proud of all the players. They gave it their all to clinch this victory, which is important for the season ahead.
It shows that the team is strong and that every player has a winning mentality. We achieved this victory because it is the group—the collective—that is being rewarded.
