Paris Saint-Germain beat Angers 1-0 at the Parc des Princes with Fabian Ruiz's second-half strike sealing the victory. Ousmane Dembélé missed a 25th-minute penalty by blasting it over, and PSG managed 21 attempts but only four on target. Coach Luis Enrique said he chose Dembélé to take the penalty and described misses as normal while defending the player. Enrique praised the team's physical and technical display, noted a low block and poor pitch made effectiveness difficult, and said PSG deserved the win. PSG kept consecutive clean sheets to start Ligue 1 for the first time since 2017-18 and Gianluigi Donnarumma received notable fan recognition amid an expected departure.
"I'm the shooter," he said. "Why did I choose to have Dembele take the penalty? Because I'm the boss. It is normal for them to fail."
"I think we played a very good game physically and technically. It's hard to play against a low block. The state of the pitch made it more difficult for us to be effective. It was very difficult. We deserved the victory."
"It's nice to always see the support of the fans," Luis Enrique added. "It was a special moment for Donnarumma. It's nice to see this feeling of trust and recognition."
