Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) experienced their first loss of the Ligue 1 season in a thrilling match against a formidable Nice side, who secured a 3-2 victory at the Parc des Princes on Friday. Kylian Mbappe, the star PSG forward, scored twice, but it wasn't enough to secure a win.
PSG faced adversity as they fell behind midway through the first half when Terem Moffi capitalized on a mistake by Mbappe. However, Mbappe redeemed himself with a goal in the 30th minute. Gaetan Laborde restored Nice's lead eight minutes into the second half, and Moffi added another goal, leaving PSG trailing.
Mbappe's volley brought hope to the reigning French champions, but Nice managed to hold on to their lead. PSG, managed by Luis Enrique, slipped to third place in the early Ligue 1 table with eight points from five games, one point behind the undefeated Nice.
Despite the loss, Luis Enrique expressed satisfaction with his team's mentality, acknowledging that they need improvement. Nice, backed by British billionaire Jim Ratcliffe, aimed to rebound this season after finishing ninth in Ligue 1 the previous year.
Nice's coach, Francesco Farioli, praised his team's performance, describing them as "warriors" and highlighting the need for a complete performance against formidable opponents like PSG.
