Paris Saint-Germain slipped to its first loss of the Ligue 1 season despite a Kylian Mbappe double as an impressive Nice secured a 3-2 victory at the Parc des Princes on Friday, Sept. 15, with Terem Moffi scoring twice.
Paris Saint-Germain's French forward Kylian Mbappe reacts during the French L1 football match between Paris Saint-Germain and OGC Nice at The Parc des Princes Stadium in Paris on Friday, Sept. 15.
"Throughout the match they were fresher than us," said Luis Enrique after his first loss as PSG coach."Of the three goals, two were deflected. Nice played great football, but I'm not worried and I saw the fans support their team even when they were two goals down." Messages from former teammates including Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Thiago Silva were played on the big screen, while Verratti was allowed a lap of honor around the pitch.
Mbappe dropped deep inside his own half to take possession but immediately gave it away in a dangerous area and the ball bounced kindly for Moffi whose shot took a big deflection off Milan Skriniar and spun into the net. PSG started to dominate but almost went into the break behind when Jordan Lotomba blasted an excellent opportunity over the bar with the final kick of the first half.
