PSG brought back a disappointing 1-1 draw against Lorient. A match lacking rhythm, largely dominated by Paris but poorly managed in decisive areas. Le Parisien and L’Équipe provided their ratings, confirming the same observation: a disorganized PSG, shaken, saved by a standout Nuno Mendes.
Paris had the ball, but not the ideas. With a significant rotation, a Dembélé far from ready, a Zabarnyi still lost in positioning, and young players learning Ligue 1 the hard way, PSG mainly just hummed along. Then, there was the injury to Désiré Doué, which further darkened the already grim expressions of the staff.
Nuno Mendes was once again the spark of the evening. For the rest, the shortcomings are evident: lack of speed, few clear chances, and a collective still under construction when Luis Enrique rotates the squad. In short: dominating is not enough, especially when inspiration stays in the locker room.
