With two wins and two draws during its first four games in Ligue 1 2023–24, PSG is off to a rocky start. They are eager to defeat Nice at home and clinch all three points to momentarily overtake Monaco as the leader.
With the goal of winning swiftly and allowing the crucial players to rest early in order to prepare for the encounter with Dortmund in the middle of the following week, coach Luis Enrique fielded the strongest lineup possible.
His strategy, however, was foiled when PSG’s defense against Nice forced a tie. Additionally, they were the club that gave up the goal first.
Teremas Moffi, a striker for the visiting team, scored the opening goal with precision in the 21st minute to silence the entire Parc des Princes.
In just 8 minutes, PSG had equalized the score thanks to a goal from Mbappe that was assisted by his good friend Achraf Hakimi. The first half ended with a score of 1-1 as well.
Nice remained the more impressive team in the second half. Laborde and Moffi scored two goals back-to-back in the 53rd and 68th minutes, respectively, to help them progress.
Mbappe didn’t complete the hat trick and cut the PSG deficit to 2-3 until the 87th minute. Kolo Muani, a replacement, provided the assist.
Mbappe tried his best, but his efforts fell short, and PSG was left to suffer a 2-3 loss at home. It’s their first defeat in Ligue 1 since 2023–24. The Parisian squad slid to third place in the rankings and underperformed in its pregame warmup for the 2023–24 Champions League group stage opener.
