PSG swiftly regained their winning momentum with a 3-0 victory over Nantes, featuring a brace from Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, which solidified their top position in Ligue 1 before the critical period.
Early morning on April 24 (Vietnam time), Paris Saint-Germain promptly regained form with a convincing 3-0 win against Nantes in the 29th round of Ligue 1, thereby further consolidating their lead at the top of the standings.
Following an unexpected loss to Lyon, PSG entered the match with high determination and quickly controlled the game. In the 13th minute, the home team was awarded a penalty after VAR confirmed the ball touched defender Frédéric Guilbert's hand inside the box. From the 11-meter spot, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia made no mistake to open the scoring.
Nantes later seemed to have equalized when Louis Leroux capitalized on a chaotic situation to put the ball into the net. However, after a lengthy VAR check, the referee ruled an offside violation and disallowed the goal, adding frustration for the visiting side.
In the 37th minute, the lead was doubled for PSG thanks to a brilliant moment from Désiré Doué. From a well-placed pass by Achraf Hakimi, this young talent unleashed a powerful shot from a tight angle, leaving the goalkeeper no chance to save.
Moving into the second half, PSG continued to maintain their dominant control. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia completed his brace with a skillful dribble past two defenders before finishing with a precise shot to beat goalkeeper Anthony Lopes, sealing the 3-0 victory.
Not only on the pitch, the match heated up in the stands as Nantes fans protested against the tournament organizers and PSG's sponsor. Security forces had to intervene to control the situation.
This victory allows PSG to maintain a 4-point gap over Lens with only 4 rounds left in the season, while also providing a favorable psychological boost ahead of the crucial encounter with Bayern Munich in the upcoming Champions League semifinals.
