With the 2024 season nearing its end, PSG continues to struggle for consistency in Ligue 1, with their recent match against Nantes highlighting ongoing issues.

As the 2024 season approaches its conclusion, Paris Saint-Germain finds itself struggling to compete consistently at the highest level.

This ongoing inconsistency is casting doubts over Luis Enrique’s project, especially after a disappointing draw in a match they should have comfortably won, making things unnecessarily complicated.

Missed opportunity to extend their Ligue 1 lead

This round of Ligue 1 offered PSG the perfect opportunity to widen their lead over AS Monaco in the standings. However, a lapse in concentration proved costly.

Despite playing against one of the most inconsistent teams in the league, the Parisians allowed their opponents to execute an effective defensive strategy.

This highlighted PSG’s weaknesses, raising more questions about their form.

The match started with promise for PSG. Achraf Hakimi gave them an early 1-0 lead in just the 3rd minute.

Following the goal, PSG created several scoring opportunities but failed to capitalize on them. By the end of the first half, Matthis Abline scored an equalizer, leveling the game at 1-1 and complicating matters for the Parisians.

In the second half, expectations were high for PSG to dominate and secure a victory. However, this failed to materialize, and the match ended in a frustrating draw, leaving fans with a bitter taste.

These performances add to the growing uncertainty surrounding Luis Enrique’s project, as the team struggles to find a formula for more clinical finishing in front of the goal.

What lies ahead for PSG?

The season has reached a critical juncture for PSG. Before the end of the year, they have an important UEFA Champions League match that will determine their qualification for the next stage.

The team’s performance in this game will be crucial for their European ambitions.

On the domestic front, PSG will face Auxerre in their next Ligue 1 match. Playing away, they hope to return to winning ways, as Monaco, currently seven points behind with a game in hand, is closing the gap.

While PSG’s position may seem secure, their recent performances suggest they cannot afford to relax if they hope to achieve the best possible results before the end of 2024.
