After his defeat against Arsenal in
Champions League (2-0) in the middle of the week, the
PSG will be keen to return to victory before the international break in October. And the players of
Luis Enrique will have a very specific objective for this meeting facing l’OGC Nice : regain the lead of the championship, occupied by l’AS Monaco since Saturday evening. For this meeting facing the Eagletsthe Spanish technician decided to definitively lift the sanction against
Ousmane Dembélé by establishing it from the start. The Parisian number 10 will be accompanied by two of his compatriots in attack, Bradley Barcola et Randal Kolo Muani. Another notable change is the presence of
Fabian Ruiz in the starting lineup in place of Vitinhawho starts on the bench.
The match summary
The PSG got into this meeting badly. Taking advantage of significant technical waste from Parisians,
Evann Guessand saw two of his crosses not be picked up by his teammates (4′, 6′). A few minutes later, it’s Gianluigi Donnarumma who stood out with a high-level parade on a header
Mohamed-Ali Chowho too easily got the best of Fabian Ruiz in the air (13′). Subsequently, the Rouge & Bleu gradually entered into their meeting and on a rapid transition, Bradley
Barcola lacked the power to deceive Marcin Bulka (27′). After a moment of hesitation where
Dante should have taken a yellow card, ultimately distributed to Marquinhos et
Ashraf Hakimi for dispute, Nuno Mendes heated the gloves of the Polish goalkeeper with a long shot (37′). But, the PSG got punished straight away. On a poorly returned corner, Ali Abdi has plenty of time to fire his shot at the edge of the area. Gianluigi Donnarumma is surprised by a shot deflected by the foot of Nuno Mendes (1-0, 39′). With too much technical waste in this first act, the
PSG returned to the locker room with this score unfavorable to l’Allianz Riviera (1-0).
