Paris St-Germain began the defence of their Ligue 1 title with victory at Nantes thanks to Vitinha's second-half strike.

A goal from Ballon d’Or nominee Vitinha was the difference between Paris Saint-Germain and Nantes in the Ligue 1 champions' opening match of their 2025-26 campaign. Vitinha's hopeful second-half strike took a fortuitous deflection and wrong-footed Nantes goalkeeper Anthony Lopes to break the deadlock in the 67th minute on Sunday.
