PSG responded with a goal from Kylian Mbappé, who continues to be the team’s standout performer. However, Nice regained the lead with a second strike from Gaëtan Laborde, taking advantage of PSG’s defensive lapses. Despite PSG’s dominance in possession, they struggled to break down a resolute Nice defense.
Mbappé struck again to bring PSG level late in the game, but the defending champions could not find a winning goal. The draw leaves PSG trailing in the title race, while Monaco, who secured a victory earlier in the day, sit comfortably at the top of the standings.
PSG’s manager, Luis Enrique, expressed frustration after the game, acknowledging that his side lacked sharpness in key moments. “We need to improve our focus, especially in defense. We can’t afford to drop points like this,” Enrique stated post-match.
Meanwhile, Nice earned praise for their disciplined performance, which frustrated the star-studded PSG lineup. With this result, Nice continue their strong start to the season, sitting just a few points off the top.
As Ligue 1 progresses, the pressure on PSG to close the gap on Monaco intensifies. With key fixtures ahead, PSG will need to find consistency to mount a serious challenge for the title, while Monaco look to capitalize on their strong position at the summit.
