PSG will take on Nice on Saturday night ahead of their UEFA Champions League Round of 16 second leg against Real Madrid. PSG returned to winning ways in Ligue 1 last week by beating St-Etienne 3-1. Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi were the highlights of the show as Mauricio Pochettino stretched their lead at the top of the table to 15 points.
The Parisians fell behind after a sloppy start to the game but once they asserted themselves, there was no stopping them. Mbappe bagged a brace and set up Danilo Pereira for PSG’s third of the night. Messi provided the assistance for both of Mbappe’s goals as well.They will return to UEFA Champions League action in midweek to complete what they started against Real Madrid. Resultantly, it is expected that Pochettino will be a little cautious when choosing his side for Saturday’s game against Nice.
