Paris Saint-Germain extended their unbeaten run in Ligue 1 after a 1-1 draw against Nantes on Tuesday in a rescheduled league fixture.
Despite already clinching their fourth straight French league title, the result keeps PSG on course to complete an entire Ligue 1 season without defeat—an unprecedented achievement in French football.
Vitinha gave the visitors the lead in the first half, and it appeared enough to secure all three points at the Stade de la Beaujoire. However, Nantes struck back late, with Brazilian midfielder Douglas Augusto netting the equaliser in the 84th minute to secure a crucial point for the hosts in their fight against relegation.
PSG came close to snatching victory in the final moments, but substitute Goncalo Ramos saw his header crash off the crossbar following a cross from Desire Doue.
The draw means PSG remain unbeaten in domestic competition since May last year and are now just four games away from completing a historic invincible campaign. The only team to come close to such a feat was Nantes themselves, who went 32 games unbeaten in the 1994/95 season before suffering a single defeat.
With the point, Nantes move four points clear of the relegation zone, a vital boost as they head into the final stretch of the season, with three of their last four matches set to be played at home.
The fixture was originally scheduled for mid-April but was moved to give PSG additional rest between their Champions League quarter-final ties against Aston Villa.
Luis Enrique’s side now turn their attention to a league clash with Nice on Friday, ahead of their Champions League semi-final first leg away to Arsenal next Tuesday. The PSG coach is expected to continue rotating his squad, as he did against Nantes by resting key players like Achraf Hakimi and using bench options including Bradley Barcola and Desire Doue.
