PSG/Nantes: Lopes angry but not giving up | OneFootball

This Wednesday, in the rescheduled match from Matchday 26 of Ligue 1 2025-2026, Paris Saint-Germain faced Nantes at the Parc des Princes. Anthony Lopes, the 35-year-old Nantes goalkeeper and captain, stopped in the mixed zone after Paris’ 3-0 win (PSG/Nantes video highlights).

Lopes: “From that point on, the game plan kind of went out the window.”

What’s the feeling after the defeat?

Disappointment. We came here with the intention of getting a result. After that, it became complicated because after 10 minutes there was that ultra-clear penalty for an obvious handball. From that point on, the game plan kind of went out the window. We tried to defend ourselves with the weapons we had tonight. I think we at least deserved to score; it came down to just a few millimeters.

Given the schedule, can we say it’s mission impossible for Nantes?

You can say that, but I won’t. It’s not in my nature to throw in the towel when there are still points to take and mathematically everything is still possible. The day it becomes impossible, I’ll tell you, and that will be the conclusion.

Lopes: “That tool is there, and we have to deal with it.”

Are you being ironic about the obvious handball? Is it hard to take with the disallowed goal?

Yes, it’s complicated. VAR is there, and it comes down to very little, especially on our goal. Now, that tool is there, and we have to deal with it. We really thought we had equalized and could keep doing what we were doing well. That wasn’t the case. We had to get our heads straight again, and that wasn’t easy.

The postponement of the match?

It’s not for me to talk about that, you’ll have to ask the president, he’ll tell you more.
