Paris Saint Germain lose at Nice 0-1

Paris Saint-Germain lost 1-0 to Nice in Ligue 1, putting them one step closer to facing Real Madrid in the second leg of their Champions League last-16 tie next week. Nice triumphed for the second time in 18 league meetings with PSG thanks to substituting Andy Delort's goal two minutes from time. PSG struggled to create chances without suspended top scorer Kylian Mbappe. Nice improved their prospects of qualifying directly for the Champions League group stage for the first time, getting into second place, and moving two points ahead of Marseille.

PSG is still 13 points clear at the top, but the defeat serves as a reminder that Mauricio Pochettino's team must improve dramatically if they are to keep their European hopes alive. Mbappe has scored more goals than Lionel Messi, Neymar, Angel Di Maria, and Mauro Icardi combined this season, and his absence at the Allianz Riviera highlighted just how vital he is to the French champs.
