Paris Stumble into a Third Straight Defeat
FC Nantes beat Paris Saint-Germain 2-1 today, leaving Aitor Prieto’s side seventh in Ligue 1 Uber Eats and the manager under pressure.
How low can Paris Saint-Germain’s league run sink? A 2-1 home defeat to FC Nantes today made it three straight losses in Ligue 1 Uber Eats, and left Aitor Prieto under pressure with his team seventh on 48 points from 32 matches.
The latest blow followed a 3-0 defeat by OGC Nice on 20 April and a 5-0 loss at AS Monaco on 26 April. Nantes finished the job today, extending a run that has turned a victory over Olympique de Marseille on 5 April and a draw at Dijon FCO eight days later into distant comfort.
Paris’s recent form reads one win, one draw and four defeats. The sequence has grown harsher with each setback: a narrow loss to Nice, a rout in Monaco, then another defeat at home. The crowd had little reason to settle; each Nantes attack carried the threat of another ugly chapter.
Prieto, in charge since 23 June 2063, now faces the glare that comes with a team sliding through its league campaign. There is no need to dress it up: Paris have lost three league games in a row, and sit seventh. Today’s result adds fresh weight to a difficult spell for the club.
Nantes leave with the points; Paris are left to answer for a run that has gone from wobble to alarm. The next league result cannot arrive soon enough for a side that needs to stop the slide—and for a manager whose position is now under pressure.
