One thing done for Paris Saint-Germain. While he essentially thinks of preparing his confrontation with Arsenal next week in the Champions League, while wanting to preserve his invincibility in France, PSG managed to ensure the essential by bringing the draw from Nantes (1-1) this Tuesday evening.
In this offbeat meeting of the 29th day, Luis Enrique's men left to win without forcing. Dominators in the first period (80% ball possession), but ultimately not very dangerous, the Parisians had done the hardest by opening the scoring by Vitinha (33rd).
The Canaries reacted in the second half, like against led by Jean-Charles Castelletto, stopped by a large Gianluigi Donnarumma (60th). In management mode, like the four changes made by Luis Enrique shortly after the hour of play, PSG had some balloons to take shelter, by Vitinha (66th) or Bradley Barcola (79th).
Nantes does not “save” his record
Nantes therefore took the opportunity to equalize, on a quickly played touch. After a rush by Matthis Abline, Douglas Augusto this time found Donnarumma's skylight (83rd). And since Patrick Carlgren was saved by his crossbar on a head of Gonçalo Ramos (90th+1), the FCN therefore takes a point against the Champions of France, on the same score as in the first leg.
For PSG, even if you will have to be careful not to fall asleep, this draw preserves the principal, the series of matches without defeat in Ligue 1, before facing Nice on Friday then Arsenal. In the end, this point is undoubtedly more important Nantes, even if the men of Antoine Kombouaré failed to “save” the record of their glorious elders of 1994-95 by inflicting his first defeat on PSG. The priority of the moment is maintenance, and the Canaries take 4 points on Le Havre (16th) and Saint-Etienne (17th), with a difference in favorable goals. It is a comfortable situation.
