Nice, thank you for nothing
Defeated for the fifth time in seven appearances of the Europa League and eliminated even before the last day, the OGC Nice produced a appalling C3 campaign, not to say shameful.
If he wobbles behind the scenes, French football is dashing on the continental scene, and the events of this week have still attested it. Winner in Louis-II against Aston Villa (1-0) in the Champions League, AS Monaco secured its place in the next round, at least in dams.
