This Friday, PSG prevailed against Angers (1-0) by the narrowest of margins thanks to a Fabián Ruiz goal. A victory that allows the Parisians to provisionally take top spot in Ligue 1.
For their return to the Parc des Princes, PSG faced a low-block team. The Rouge et Bleu spent a long time on top of the opposition defence.
But thanks to a Fabián Ruiz goal after the break, the French champions prevailed by the narrowest of margins (1-0) to provisionally take the championship lead.
After the match, Parisian manager Luis Enrique spoke at the press conference about his team's performance. He also referred to the Parc's farewell to Gianluigi Donnarumma and the state of the pitch, in comments reported by Le Parisien.
The assessment of this match
"Very positive assessment. We've already spoken about the difficulty of this match because the opponent defends very well, with a low block. It was difficult. The worst thing is the state of the pitch, which we already knew about. But it was even more difficult because of it. I must congratulate my players who didn't think about that. They were able to win the match thanks to their physical condition and technique."
The state of the pitch
"We played a very good match physically and technically. The pitch made it even more difficult to be lucid and effective in front of the goal. I'm not worried. We deserved this victory. The first twenty minutes were difficult, but for the rest of the match, we dominated the entire time. It's a very different season start, but I'm happy and confident."
