This Saturday evening (9:00 p.m.), Paris Saint-Germain travels to Nantes. The Parisians, deprived of the Champions League this season, will want to continue in an opposition which promises to be unbalanced.
The fifth against the second. This is the poster, this Saturday evening at 9:00 p.m., which will pit Nantes against Paris Saint-Germain, as part of the fourth day of the Arkema Premier League. The Parisiennes, runners-up to OL, arrive at a promoted team, having had a good start to the season, with a record of two wins and one defeat. This trip is therefore taken very seriously within the capital club, like the coach of the Paris Saint-Germain women’s team. This Friday, Fabrice Abriel spoke on this subject on the official website of this training: “Winning allows us to build up confidence. Being effective on both surfaces gives us benchmarks and a basis to work from. We know that we must perform flawlessly in the championship, we are aware of the stakes. The non-qualification in the Champions League hurt us, it’s in our heads. But we have to move forward, and for that, we have to win matches, and win them in a controlled manner. »
PSG, semi-finalist of the C1 last year
This season, the Parisians will therefore have to concentrate solely on the French championship, to the extent that they officially know, since September 26, and their new defeat against the Italians of Juventus Turin (1-3, 1-2) , that they will not compete in the 2024-2025 edition of the Champions League. Last year, PSG made it to the semi-finals. Since this return play-off, the Parisiennes have played two new matches in the French championship, at home, against Guingamp (4-0) on September 29 then against Le Havre (3-0) on October 4. But this elimination in C1 necessarily remains in the throat of the leaders. As for example with sports director Angelo Castellazzi, who raised the subject in the columns of Le Parisien: “It’s not normal. But it is after negative results that we can see the determination and true strength of a club. »
