PARIS — Paris Saint-Germain strengthened their position at the top of Ligue 1 after a dominant 3–0 win over FC Nantes at the Parc des Princes, moving closer to another league title in a decisive phase of the season.
PSG head coach Luis Enrique praised his team’s performance after the match, describing it as “almost a perfect night” given the importance of securing maximum points in the title race.
The victory pushed PSG four points clear at the top of the table, reinforcing their control of the championship battle as the season enters its final stretch. The result also came as a strong response to their earlier setback against Lyon, which had briefly raised doubts about their consistency.
Georgian forward Khvicha Kvaratskhelia delivered a standout performance, scoring twice to lead PSG’s attacking dominance. He opened the scoring in the 13th minute from the penalty spot after Nantes conceded an early spot-kick, giving the hosts immediate control of the game.
PSG maintained pressure throughout the first half, dominating possession and stretching Nantes’ defence with quick transitions and attacking combinations. Their control of the midfield limited the visitors’ ability to build any meaningful response.
Young midfielder Désiré Doué added a second goal before halftime, finishing a well-coordinated attacking move that further exposed Nantes’ defensive struggles. The goal gave PSG a comfortable cushion heading into the break.
Kvaratskhelia struck again early in the second half, sealing the match with his second goal and effectively ending any hopes of a Nantes comeback. His performance highlighted his growing influence in PSG’s attack this season.
Luis Enrique praised the winger’s consistency and mentality, noting that his contribution has remained high throughout the campaign regardless of opposition or match pressure. He emphasized that such performances reflect the player’s top-level quality and mentality.
PSG’s win also reinforces their momentum ahead of a demanding schedule that includes a Ligue 1 trip to Angers and a crucial UEFA Champions League semi-final against Bayern Munich. The club continues to balance domestic dominance with European ambition as the season reaches its decisive phase.
For FC Nantes, the defeat deepens their relegation concerns. The club remains without a win in seven matches and sits near the bottom of the league table. With only a few fixtures remaining, their fight to avoid relegation has become increasingly difficult.
As PSG move closer to yet another league title, their form suggests growing confidence at a key moment, with Kvaratskhelia’s impact and Enrique’s leadership shaping their push for silverware on multiple fronts.
