Paris Saint-Germain began their pursuit of a record fifth consecutive Ligue 1 crown with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Nantes at the Stade de la Beaujoire on Sunday, August 17, 2025.
The opening fixture of the 2025/26 campaign was anything but straightforward for Luis Enrique's side, who needed a second-half strike from Vitinha to grind out the three points.
For Nantes, the result continued a frustrating trend. The Canaries have now failed to win any of their last nine season openers, with four draws and five defeats. Having narrowly avoided relegation last term, Luis Castro's men entered the new campaign with cautious optimism but were once again undone by PSG's resilience.
