At the end of this seventh day of Ligue 1, Nice meets Paris Saint-Germain this Sunday evening at 8:45 p.m. A meeting between two clubs who will try to remobilize after having each suffered a defeat in the European Cup.
Paris Saint-Germain, who fell easily this week to Arsenal in the Champions League (2-0), travel to Nice on Sunday at 8:45 p.m. to get back on track. On the French Riviera, the idea for the Parisians will be to end this negative sequence on a good note, before the international break.
On the one hand, PSG disappointed after the setback suffered in the Champions League five days ago on Arsenal’s pitch 2-0. The capital club had to deal with criticism about the methods of its coach, Luis Enrique, including the choice to dismiss Ousmane Dembélé. A Spanish technician who has come under fire in recent days and who takes all his responsibilities. “If you have to find a culprit, and you obviously want to find one, it’s the coach, it’s me. I accept it, it doesn’t pose a problem to me, my career is full of similar situations and like always, I will overcome it by working,” he explained.
The people of Nice a little late
On the other side, a Riviera club, which has just lost 4-1 Thursday on the lawn of Lazio Rome in the Europa League. Franck Haise’s men have had an average start to the season in the league (8 points after 6 days) and have struggled to regain success since their resounding 8-0 victory against Saint-Étienne.
The Niçois therefore await Paris with little confidence and a reduced squad with the absences of Moffi, Laborde, Bard and Sanson, but with the idea of returning to victory and avoiding letting their competitors get too far ahead.
