Paris Saint-Germain after the French Football awards saw their star signing Lionel Messi win a record 7th Ballon d’Or award as Gianluigi Donnarumma won the Yashin Trophy (Best goal keeper award).
Paris Saint-Germain hosted Nice at the Parc des Princes for their sixteenth (16th) league match in the French Ligue 1 and the current leaders had a tough nut to crack.
After losing Neymar to a horrific ankle injury, PSG lined up with Di Maria, Messi and Mbappe leading the front line but that was not enough to break the defense Nice who came into the game with a simple agenda not to lose.
Nice from the sound of the whistle for the opening half started to defend their lines, soaked the pressure PSG posed and ensured their goal line is safe.
Paris Saint-Germain managed a total of 13 shots out of which 5 were on target with none crossing the goal line.
Nice continued to frustrate the league leaders as they remained resolute at the back and committed little to no error.
Messi and Di Maria who have on such days pulled through with some individual brilliance were kept at bay as Mbappe looked wanting in the game.
At the end of the final whistle, the persistent determination of Nice paid off as they picked a vital point at the Parc des Princes
