Match Overview

The match was PSG’s home opener for the new season. Luis Enrique fielded a strong lineup for the 8:45 PM kickoff. The Parisians took a careful approach in their season opener against Nantes. Later, they impressed their home fans with strong attacking play.

This victory was key for PSG as it was their fourth win in a row this season. They had previously triumphed in the Supercoupe d’Europe against Tottenham (2-2, 4-3 on penalties) and won their first league match at Nantes (1-0).

Team Lineups and Key Players

Luis Enrique, the manager of PSG, opted for a 4-3-3 setup. Lucas Chevalier was in goal. Nuno Mendes, Willian Pacho, Marquinhos, and Achraf Hakimi formed the defense. The midfield trio was Vitinha, João Neves, and Fabián Ruiz. Neves came back from suspension after missing the season opener.

The attacking trio consisted of Bradley Barcola, Ousmane Dembélé, and Désiré Doué. Doué took Khvicha Kvaratskhelia’s spot since he was out with a muscle problem.

Angers, managed by Alexandre Dujeux, set up in a defensive 5-3-2 formation with Hervé Koffi in goal. The visitors missed suspended midfielder Louis Mouton. He got a red card in the last match against Paris FC.

Historical Context

PSG holds a remarkable record against Angers. They remain unbeaten in 27 Ligue 1 matches, with 20 wins and 7 draws. This streak is one of the longest unbeaten runs in French championship history. It’s only surpassed by Monaco’s 32-match streak against Montpellier from 1994 to 2018.

PSG has won their last ten home games against Angers in Ligue 1. This is their longest winning streak against any team in the top flight of France.

Season Implications

PSG’s win earns them full points from their first two games. This puts them in a strong spot in the early title race. The performance was encouraging. Luis Enrique’s new tactics are starting to click after a long pre-season.

For Angers, this defeat is a wake-up call after their strong start against Paris FC. The newly-promoted team was strong in defense but had a hard time making good attacks against the champions.

The match was PSG’s chance to show off their recent trophies to fans. After the final whistle, players stayed on the pitch to display their European Championship, Supercoupe d’Europe, and other silverware.

With this solid home win, PSG made a strong statement to their Ligue 1 rivals. They are still perfect as they begin another exciting French championship season.
