PSG-Nice (2-3): a slap that comes very badly

They wouldn’t even have been able to give him that. To ensure that the emotion remains in the stands and that his last appearance at the Parc des Princes is accompanied by the thrill of success. The irony of fate would indeed have it that, just before Marco Verratti took off for new adventures, PSG crashed for the first time this season, this Friday, September 15 on the occasion of the fifth day of Ligue 1 .

As if it had been shaken by the tribute reserved for the Italian environment, celebrated in unison after eleven seasons in the capital, it is a feverish, clumsy PSG, often overwhelmed in commitment and ultimately rather harmless in the head on the feet, who saw OGC Nice come to teach him a lesson at the Parc des Pinces.

Mbappé, Capt’ain Igloo then Captain Fracasse

After breathing with the Blues to ease the pain in a wheezing patella tendon on Tuesday in Dortmund, Kylian Mbappé for a moment let the stands believe that once again he would take care of everything. Both bad and good. Flanked by the armband that Marquinhos, left on the bench, naturally entrusted to him, Kylian Mbappé began by playing the Capt’ain Igloo, his loss of the ball under Todibo’s pressure ending with Terem Moffi opening the score on a shot deflected by Lucas Hernandez (20th).

A short-lived freshening, just enough time to become Captain Fracasse again and send Hakimi’s cross into the net of Marcin Bulka who could only slow down his wrapped shot (29th). The start of a new beginning or rather the awakening of a Parisian team that had been a bit dormant up until then, we thought at the time.

But the blow – the 6th this season – from the top Parisian scorer will have above all had the merit of strengthening the vigilance of Aiglons, aware of their ability to get the best of Parisians whose possession (64%) did not allow them to did not win the battle of precision in the first period (1 shot on target against 4 in Nice).

Paris far from ready to get into the tough

It’s no coincidence that upon returning from the locker room, Terem Moffi hit the nail on the head, knowing how to use the spaces and provoke a defense weighed down by his feverishness. Launched on the edge of offside, the Nice striker had no trouble humiliating Danilo to serve a Laborde who would double the lead (53rd). A quarter of an hour later, he will do the job, almost alone, and will piss off, this time, the Hernandez-Skriniar tandem who will helplessly watch him deceive Donnarumma.

Kylian Mbappé’s right volley will only have value in the statistical table, this seventh goal of the season not preventing Paris from losing for the first time since June 3 (2-3 against Clermont) and leave second place in Ligue 1 to his tormentor of the day.

Four days before its entry into the Champions League against Dortmund and while next week will conclude with the Clasico against Marseille, it is clear that Paris is far, very far from being ready to enter the tough .
