For the first outing of the season in Ligue 1, PSG were immediately held back by Lorient at home.
It’s recovery. PSG played their first Ligue 1 match this season by hosting Lorient. A first expected under the leadership of Luis Enrique, the new Ile-de-France coach, but above all a first in a stormy context, tarnished by a major institutional crisis generated by the famous Mbappé affair. This meeting was incidentally to serve as a happy, but short, escape from the deleterious ambient climate. Clearing up, really? Not in view of the zero and zero final score of this first Aoutian tussle.

Well served in the Breton area at the start of the match, Vitinha tried to eliminate Laporte, but the latter remained on his feet and took away a great opportunity from PSG. Rookie Gonçalo Ramos also offered himself a few chances, but Abergel failed to cool the Park shortly before the break, he who placed a powerful shot from the right in the 43rd minute. Donnarumma seemed beaten, the Lorient nevertheless saw the ball hit the post.
Ultra dominating in the game, PSG struggled to create clear opportunities. With a very good Ugarte, the local club nevertheless continued to dominate the exchanges in the second act. Fabian Ruiz thus armed a powerful strike deflected by Mvogo in the last quarter of an hour. Ramos, he took a cross from a cross head that passed very close to the frame. But inspiration was still lacking and Paris offered itself a mixed first. The thinning will not have lasted.
