PSG fell behind to a 34th-minute effort from Morgan Sanson, only for Fabian Ruiz to respond seven minutes later. Sanson restored Nice’s lead soon after the second-half restart, however, and Youssouf Ndayishimiye made it 3-1 in the 70th-minute. Former PSG goalkeeper Marcin Bulka came back to haunt them, making an incredible 12 saves, including nine from inside the box.

PSG’s defeat means the record for the longest unbeaten run in a single season still belongs to the Nantes team of 1994-95. Nantes went 32 games unbeaten en route to the title in that campaign.
