Ligue 1: Nice Stun PSG with 3-1 Victory at Parc des Princes

Paris Saint-Germain's unbeaten run in Ligue 1 comes to an end as OGC Nice claim a stunning 3-1 victory at Parc des Princes.

Paris Saint-Germain's impressive Ligue 1 unbeaten run came to an end as they suffered a stunning 3-1 defeat to OGC Nice at Parc des Princes. Despite having already secured the league title, PSG held onto the hope of completing the season without a single loss. However, Nice had other plans, driven by their own ambitions to secure a UEFA Champions League qualification spot.

The victory marked a significant win for Nice, who are currently in fifth place and are working towards achieving their goal of qualifying for the Champions League. This win could be a turning point for Nice, giving them the momentum they need to push for a top-four finish. PSG, on the other hand, will look to bounce back from this unexpected defeat.

Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) dominated early possession and created key chances, with Khvicha Kvaratskhelia causing trouble for Nice's defense. However, despite the pressure, Nice scored a surprise goal in the 34th minute when Morgan Sanson finished a precise through ball from Badredine Bouanani.

PSG responded quickly, equalizing just seven minutes later. Ousmane Dembélé chipped a ball over Nice's defense, and Fabián Ruiz made enough contact to direct it past goalkeeper Marcin Bułka, leveling the score.

Contrary to expectations, PSG didn't cruise to victory after equalizing. Instead, Nice regained the lead just 44 seconds into the second half when Jonathan Clauss' cross found Morgan Sanson, who scored his second goal with a stunning acrobatic effort.

PSG pushed for an equalizer, with Warren Zaïre-Em Emery's goalbound shot blocked by Nice's scrambling defense. However, Nice's defensive solidity held strong, and they continued to absorb PSG's pressure. The visitors sealed the win with a decisive strike in the 70th minute.

Badredine Bouanani's precise free-kick found Youssouf Ndayishimiye, who headed the ball home to secure a thrilling 3-1 victory for Nice over PSG. This win propels Nice back into the UEFA Champions League spots, temporarily boosting their qualification hopes.

So close, yet so far! 🤯
