Very poor game for PSG against Nice, second in Ligue 1. Pochettino decided to rest Mbappé, probably thinking about next week’s Champions League match, and the team noticed, since, despite having Messi and Neymar, the French created very few chances.
With this result, the Parisians have lost a great opportunity to practically secure the championship, since the distance is currently 16 points. PSG dominated the game, but the truth is that Nice enjoyed the clearest chances of the game.
The match began with a chance from Nice, who warned that they wanted to play PSG one-on-one. To calm the match, we saw how Messi began to participate too much in the construction of the game and the control of possession, which, on the other hand, made PSG lose one more attacking man and they were more comfortable in defense.
Even so, Di María enjoyed a great opportunity before the break, but could not score against the rival goalkeeper. Pochettino didn’t want to give the game much more speed either, so as not to risk it, and he didn’t make many changes in the second half, neither tactical nor men. This caused the script of the match to remain the same and we did not see a PSG very worried about the draw. This was taken advantage of by Nice, who in the last minutes managed to score the winning goal through Delort. Now Pochettino’s men must prepare for the Champions League match, their great goal this year, we’ll see if they’re up to the task.
