Preview: Nice hope to boost UCL hopes against PSG | OneFootball

Following their title ceremony against Toulouse FC on Sunday, Luis Enrique's men will have to get back to Ligue 1 Uber Eats action against an OGC Nice side who are hoping to boost their Champions League prospects

Paris Saint-Germain are heading down south to the Allianz Riviera in a re-arranged midweek fixture from round 32 to face an OGC Nice side who are still hoping to boost their hopes of qualifying for the UEFA Champions League.

After slipping down the table in mid-season, Les Aiglons are on their way back to reclaiming a European position. Francesco Farioli's side are currently on a streak of winning their last two games in a row and are hoping to inflict a first away loss on Les Parisiens on Wednesday evening. A victory against PSG would put Nice one point behind fourth-placed Brest heading into the final day of Ligue 1 action this weekend.

Meanwhile, Luis Enrique's side come into the game off the back of losing at home to Toulouse FC (1-3) on a night which saw Kylian Mbappé say goodbye to the Parc des Princes home crowd with his final goal on home soil. Thijs Dallinga, Franck Magri, and Yann Gboho scored to dampen Les Parisiens' title celebrations.

Luis Enrique motivates his players for Nice trip

"I want to see my team give their all," said Luis Enrique in his pre-match conference.  "I've informed the players. Every match you play in a Paris Saint-Germain shirt can't be just any match."

"It's important for me to know who wants to wear the Paris Saint-Germain shirt, who wants to defend the colours, who wants to represent the capital of France, who wants to represent the fans, that's what's important for me, who's going to give 100% regardless of whether they're playing an unimportant match or a Champions League final."
