After a string of three consecutive draws, Paris Saint-Germain got back to winning ways with a 2-0 victory over Caen on matchday 7 of Ligue 1 — a performance that PSG midfielder Blaise Matuidi sees as a crucial turning point.
🔊 Matuidi’s Post-Match Reflections
Speaking after the match, Matuidi acknowledged the team’s recent struggles and credited this victory as a response to their dip in form:
“Tonight, Paris played a very good match. (…) Lately, we’ve been unlucky. We couldn’t score that second goal to put ourselves in a safe position. This time, we managed to do it.”
He emphasized that PSG had been lacking success, not effort, in the last few matches, and highlighted the importance of finally being able to close out the game with a comfortable lead.
💪 Tough Opponent, Strong Response
Matuidi also praised Caen’s resilience:
“It was not easy” against a team that was “difficult” to maneuver on the field.
Despite the challenge, PSG’s ability to score twice and keep a clean sheet was, in Matuidi’s view, a positive sign for the future.
⚽ What’s Next?
PSG will now look to build on this momentum as they prepare to face Toulouse on Saturday for matchday 8. With Matuidi and the squad regaining confidence, the reigning champions will be aiming to climb up the Ligue 1 table and regain control of their title defense.
