Lucas Beraldo emphasized the team's potential for improvement in fitness and gameplay. PSG maintained significant possession, with 70.7% of the ball and no shots conceded to Nantes, showcasing their attacking dominance despite difficulties in creating chances initially. Luis Enrique expressed satisfaction with the victory and control over the match.
"It's very good for us to start like this, with an away win. We hope we'll continue like this and win a lot of matches and take as many points as possible."
"It's very difficult to play against a team grouped in a deep block; it's difficult to find space in those situations. We managed to do it with Vitinha's goal."
"I'm very happy, because the first objective in this match was victory. We deserved these three points."
"We didn't create many chances in the first half, but that's normal. It's difficult against an opponent who plays deep."
