LIVE. Nantes - PSG: follow the match
The two teams return to the Beaujoire pitch, ready to ignite this evening's Nantes-PSG clash, which promises to be a big success.
FC Nantes isn't exactly enjoying the start of the season. Over the last eight seasons, the Canaries haven't won a single Ligue 1 opening game (4 draws, 4 losses).
Barely unveiled, PSG will debut its brand new jersey. The capital club has opted to return to red for the first time since the 2016-2017 season. This is the Parisians' third jersey this season.
Last season, PSG failed to beat FC Nantes once. Twice, the two teams drew 1-1. A repeat performance tonight?
That's PSG's slogan, but Nantes also has the right to dream bigger this season. After several difficult seasons and narrowly avoiding relegation, FC Nantes ousted Antoine Kombouaré to enlist former Dunkerque coach Luis Castro, who advocates an attacking, no-nonsense style of play. It remains to be seen if things take off tonight in this first Ligue 1 match of the season at La Beaujoire.
And Luis Castro has decided to join FC Nantes. Highly sought-after in the summer transfer window , Abline will not start this match. He is on the bench. The Canaries' XI: Lopes - Cozza, Awaziem, Tati, Amian - Kwon, Lepenant, Leroux, Benhattab - Guirassy, Mostafa Mohamed.
Luis Enrique has a few surprises in his starting lineup for this Nantes-PSG match. For his first time with the Parisian squad, Ukrainian defender Illya Zabarnyi starts in defense. Up front, Ousmane Dembélé is not present. He makes way for the young Ibrahim M'Baye up front. Gonçalo Ramos also starts. Chevalier - Beraldo, Zabarniy, Hernandez, Zaïre-Emery - Ruiz, Vitinha, Lee - Mbaye, Ramos, Barcola.
After an extraordinary season, PSG started it off in the best possible way with their first trophy. The Parisians overturned Tottenham in Udine in midweek (2-2; 4 penalties to 3) and lifted their first European Super Cup in history.
