PSG: New Record for Goals Scored Under Luis Enrique After Nice Win | Ligue 1 2026

Paris Saint-Germain continued their impressive goal-scoring form with a commanding 4-0 victory over Nice on Thursday, March 21, 2026, reclaiming the top spot in Ligue 1. Beyond the three points, the win marked a significant milestone for the club, extending their remarkable streak of consistent offensive output. This result sees PSG back at the summit of the French top flight.

PSG has now scored 101 goals across all competitions this season, reaching a century of goals for the 14th consecutive season. This achievement is a first for any club in Ligue 1 history, solidifying PSG’s status as a perennial attacking powerhouse. The goals against Nice brought their recent tally to twelve in their last three matches, demonstrating a potent attacking force under manager Luis Enrique.

A Commanding Performance at the Allianz Riviera

The match at the Allianz Riviera saw PSG take control from the opening whistle. Nuno Mendes opened the scoring in the 42nd minute, converting a penalty to give the visitors a deserved lead heading into halftime. Désiré Doué doubled the advantage shortly after the restart, finding the net in the 49th minute. The Parisian side’s dominance continued as the game progressed, with Dro Fernández scoring his first goal for the club in the 81st minute, followed by a late strike from Warren Zaïre-Emery just four minutes later, completing the 4-0 rout.

The victory wasn’t just about the goals; it was a display of comprehensive football. PSG’s high pressing, quick ball movement and clinical finishing proved too much for Nice to handle. The team demonstrated strong teamwork and defensive solidity, denying Nice any real opportunity to threaten their goal. This performance sends a clear message to their Ligue 1 rivals: PSG is determined to compete at the highest level and maintain their position at the top of the table.

Luis Enrique Surpasses Laurent Blanc in PSG Goal-Scoring Records

Beyond the team’s collective achievement, the win also saw Luis Enrique etch his name into PSG’s record books. According to Stats Foot, Enrique has become the coach with the most goals scored under his leadership in PSG history. His teams have scored 393 goals in 161 matches since his arrival in the summer of 2023, surpassing the previous record of 391 goals in 173 matches set by Laurent Blanc.

This record is particularly noteworthy given the relatively short timeframe. With potentially 13 matches remaining in the 2025-2026 season, Enrique’s side has ample opportunity to further extend this impressive mark. The Spaniard’s tactical approach and ability to unlock the attacking potential of his players have been instrumental in PSG’s success.

What’s Next for Paris Saint-Germain?

Following this dominant display, PSG will turn their attention to their next challenge. The team will look to build on this momentum as they continue their pursuit of both the Ligue 1 title and success in the Champions League. The schedule ahead will be demanding, but with their current form and attacking firepower, PSG appears well-equipped to navigate the challenges that lie ahead. Fans can stay updated on the latest news and match schedules through the official PSG website and social media channels.

The victory over Nice not only secured three crucial points but also served as a statement of intent. PSG is a force to be reckoned with, and under Luis Enrique, they are playing with a confidence and attacking flair that makes them a formidable opponent for any team in Europe.
