during the 27thand day of the French championship, Saturday March 5, PSG expected a victory to go quietly to Madrid, on Wednesday, to play their round of 16and final comeback in the Champions League. But OGC Nice, now Ligue 1 runners-up, reminded the Parisians of their vulnerability by beating them 1-0 after a lackluster match.
At the end of the second half, everything indicated that Nice and the Parisians could content themselves with a 0-0 draw that preserved everyone’s interests. Half volley by Andy Delort (88and) following a counterattack, which began after Neymar had lost the ball, cost Paris-Saint-Germain their third Ligue 1 loss of the season.
Kylian Mbappé, suspended, misses his team a lot. Without the PSG striker, the game was dark at the Allianz Riviera, before Delort’s goal. Ángel Di María and Neymar were disappointing, but Lionel Messi managed some very well thought-out dribbles and passes, which boded well before returning to the Santiago Bernabéu, a stadium where he often shone for FC Barcelona.
PSG maintains the lead, Lyon 6and
This result does not change much the ranking of Paris Saint-Germain. The leader continues with a thirteen point advantage over the winner of the day, but this failure could damage his morale four days after defending the advantage of the first leg in Madrid (1-0).
Fifteen days earlier, PSG had also lost in Nantes. “Don’t worry, we’re the first,” warned Captain Marquinhos on the Plus channel microphone, but it shouldn’t be a habit to start losing there. »
Christophe Galtier’s team is second, now two points behind Olympique de Marseille, which plays in Monaco on Sunday (20:45). At the Bollaert stadium, Brest won 1-0, causing RC Lens to lose their 7and place in favor of OM Lyon, who won 4-1 in Lorient on Friday.
