The Ligue 1 league got under way as Nantes vs PSG concluded in a 1-0 goal to the defending champions in the form of Vitinha in the second-half. Luis Enrique who has just beaten Tottenham in a Super Cup game was unable to find their rhythm against the side which ended in the 13th position in the previous season. Vitinha blasted a shot that struck Chidozie Awaziem and deceived goalkeeper Anthony Lopes to the fatal goal in the 67th minute.
The French champions PSG, who won the fourth consecutive domestic title with a 19-point advantage last season, appeared to be sluggish after beginning to resume training only 11 days ago after an appearance in the Fifa Club World Cup. Enrique made heavy rotations, leaving Ousmane Dembele, Desire Doue and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia on the bench.
Center back Illia Zabarnyi joined the club at PSG on a fee of 57 million pounds paid to the bottom club Bournemouth. Portugal forward Goncalo Ramos believed he had scored the second goal as well but he had been caught offside. Just because PSG played defensively, does not mean they did not control the game and get the three points.
