Bradley Barcola and Yoram Zague’s goals secure victory for the newly crowned champions of Ligue 1.
Paris Saint-Germain’s French forward #29 Bradley Barcola (2nd R) celebrated with his teammates after scoring his team’s first goal during the French L1 football match against OGC Nice at the Allianz Riviera Stadium in Nice, south.
In a thrilling encounter, Paris Saint-Germain emerged victorious with a 2-1 win over Nice, despite the absence of their star player Kylian Mbappe. Mbappe was unable to play due to injury, but PSG showed their resilience and determination to secure the three points.
The match got off to an exciting start, with Nice hitting the post early on through Khephren Thuram. However, it was PSG who took control of the game with two quick-fire goals in the first half. Bradley Barcola opened the scoring, followed by Yoram Zague, who celebrated his birthday with a goal.
Nice fought back and managed to pull one back through Mohamed-Ali Cho in the 32nd minute, injecting new life into the contest. Jeremie Boga, Terem Moffi, and substitute Gaetan Laborde all came close to equalizing for Nice, but PSG’s defense held firm.
Nice’s hopes of a comeback suffered a blow when Melvin Bard was shown a red card in the 75th minute, reducing them to ten men. PSG had a golden opportunity to extend their lead when Barcola struck the woodwork, but they were not punished for the miss.
If PSG can avoid defeat in their upcoming match against Metz, they will make history by becoming the first team in Ligue 1 to go unbeaten throughout an entire season on the road. This achievement would be a testament to their dominance and consistency in the league.
Overall, it was a hard-fought victory for PSG, showcasing their ability to overcome adversity and secure important wins even without their star player. The team’s performance demonstrated their determination to finish the season on a high and cement their status as champions.
