Paris Saint-Germain handled business at Parc des Princes, beating Nantes 3-0 in Ligue 1 Round 26. A brace from Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and a composed team display did the job. Sofascore had him at a near-perfect 9.5, and PSG kept a clean sheet to match the scoreline. Fans on Sofascore would have enjoyed this one.

Kvaratskhelia sets the tone

The winger opened the scoring from the spot on 13 minutes, then struck again five minutes into the second half after a slick exchange with Ousmane Dembélé. His shot map backed the eye test with 1.54 expected goals and three shots on target. He also went a perfect 3 of 3 on dribbles and won 6 of 7 duels. Not a bad night to wear No. 7.

Control in the middle, control of the match

PSG dominated possession 70 to 30 and completed 664 of 733 passes. They produced 2.15 xG to Nantes’ 0.87, with 37 touches in the box to the visitors’ 11. Shots finished 14 to 11, but shots on target leaned 6 to 4. The pattern was simple. PSG lived in the final third and stayed there.

Supporting cast delivers

Désiré Doué made it 2-0 in the 37th minute, finishing a move started by Achraf Hakimi’s assist. Dembélé added three key passes and the assist on Kvaratskhelia’s second, earning a 7.8 Sofascore Rating. Captain Marquinhos was tidy at the back with 72 of 80 passes completed and eight accurate long balls. In goal, Matvey Safonov posted four saves and 0.66 goals prevented, good for an 8.0.

Nantes’ moments, but not enough

Anthony Lopes kept the score respectable with three saves. Matthis Abline was lively with five attempts, and Louis Leroux created two key passes. Still, Nantes cleared 25 times and spent long stretches defending their box. A single yellow for Frédéric Guilbert summed up a frustrating night under Clement Turpin’s whistle.

What this means

Paris Saint-Germain looked in stride, ticking the right boxes in ball progression, pressing, and shot quality. With Kvaratskhelia in this form and a 9.5 Sofascore Rating out of 10, the title push stays on schedule. Nantes will look to turn decent approach play into higher-value chances next time out.
