Lionel Messi scored the only goal of the game as Paris Saint-Germain defeated Nice 1-0 on Sunday night. The Argentine forward was involved in all three goals as PSG secured their fifth straight win in Ligue 1.
Neymar provided the assist for the first goal, scoring from the penalty spot after being fouled by Nice's goalkeeper. The Brazilian then set up Mauro Icardi for the second goal with a pinpoint cross from the right flank. It was Icardi who finished off the move to give PSG the lead.
The victory puts PSG level on points with leaders Lyon and ensures they remain at the top of the table. However, they will have to be wary of their rivals in the coming weeks, as Marseille, Monaco and Rennes all have games in hand over them.
Despite the result, it was not an easy game for PSG. They were outplayed by Nice for long periods of time but managed to find ways to get ahead. Their defensive solidity was impressive, as they kept Nice at bay throughout the match.
It is clear that PSG have a strong team spirit and are capable of overcoming any opposition. They have the ability to score goals and defend well, which makes them a force to be reckoned with in the French league. As they continue to compete against some of the best teams in Europe, they will need to keep improving if they want to achieve further success.
