Paris Saint-Germain, already crowned Ligue 1 champions two weeks ago with 6 games to spare, are showing no signs of slowing down. As they prepare to host Nice at the Parc des Princes on Friday, the Parisians are more focused on making history than just crossing the finish line.

With 78 points from 30 matches, PSG have dominated the domestic scene, boasting an impressive record of 24 wins and 6 draws — remaining unbeaten in the league so far. Friday’s clash offers them a chance to maintain that proud streak and further stamp their authority on French football.
Nice, on the other hand, are locked in a battle for a European spot. Currently sitting 5th with 51 points, their recent form has been patchy, picking up just one win in their last 5 Ligue 1 outings. Yet, with European dreams still alive, they’ll be eager to snatch something in Paris — no matter how daunting the task.
Head-to-head stats also favor the hosts. In their last 10 meetings across all competitions, PSG have come out on top 5 times, with 3 games ending in draws and 2 going in Nice’s favor.
It’s been a dream season for Luis Enrique’s side. With a Champions League semi-final clash against Arsenal on the horizon, the Parisian giants are still in the running for an incredible treble. Alongside Barcelona, PSG remain one of the second clubs in Europe’s top 5 leagues with that possibility still alive.
Their success is being fueled by a vibrant mix of youth and experience. The likes of Ousmane Dembélé, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Bradley Barcola, Désiré Doué, Achraf Hakimi, Nuno Mendes, and Vitinha have all been instrumental in a campaign full of flair and purpose.
