PSG vs Angers Match Recap
Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) earned a 1–0 win against Angers at the Parc des Princes in their latest Ligue 1 2025 fixture. Spanish midfielder Fabián Ruiz scored the only goal of the night in the 50th minute, helping PSG secure back-to-back league victories.
Fabián Ruiz Shines as Match Winner
The breakthrough came early in the second half when Ruiz’s shot took a deflection and found the back of the net. His composure and ability to step up in crucial moments highlighted his growing role in PSG’s midfield under coach Luis Enrique.
Missed Chances for PSG
Despite dominating possession and creating opportunities, PSG struggled to finish their chances. The biggest miss came when Ousmane Dembélé failed to convert a first-half penalty, firing the ball over the bar. This reflected PSG’s lack of clinical finishing, something Enrique admitted needs urgent improvement if they are to compete at the highest level.
Angers’ Defensive Effort
Credit must go to Angers, who defended bravely and limited PSG’s star-studded attack. While they failed to create many scoring opportunities, their discipline kept the game competitive until the final whistle.
Emotional Farewell for Gianluigi Donnarumma
One of the most emotional moments of the night came after the match when goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma walked out onto the pitch to acknowledge PSG fans. Wearing casual clothes, he was seen holding back tears as he greeted the ultras. Reports suggest that Donnarumma is close to finalizing a move to Manchester City, making this appearance likely his farewell at the Parc des Princes.
What This Means for PSG
With this victory, PSG continues their perfect start to Ligue 1 2025, but concerns remain about their attacking sharpness. The team has won both of their opening matches by narrow 1–0 margins, raising questions about consistency in front of goal.
Still, with quality players like Ruiz stepping up and the team showing defensive solidity, PSG looks set to remain strong contenders for the league title.
