Reactions to the break
Schneiderlin (Nice) “We’re going to try to negotiate our transitions better and end up doing something. When we’re in transition, we have to finish, try to score that goal and keep our balance.”
Dagba (PSG) : “It was complicated in the first half. Their block is well in place. We will try to go more through the sides, I think, because it is really dense in the middle, and more centered.”
The break at 0-0
Well, the show is long overdue. The Niçois defend well, try a little, against a PSG which is idling. It will be better for the next 45 minutes.
Verratti with Messi
The Ballon d’Or fires its strike very quickly, full axis … and falls on the firm hands of Bulka, who was well placed. The Park will have had a little thrill before the break.
Messi versus Dante
It is the defender who wins with a very clean intervention, on the ball, in front of his defense.
Messi at the entrance to the surface
The Argentinian makes the difference by sneaking between three Nice people … before falling, after a small contact with Thuram. The referee did not find that enough to whistle a foul. The game continues.
Paris strolled
The Niçois show that they are also capable of keeping the ball and of getting rid of the Parisians’ pressing (quite) easily, even if Boudaoui does not ultimately make the difference at the end.
Kimpembe on the ground
On a corner in favor of the Aiglons, and repelled somehow by the Parisians, the captain of PSG remains on the ground after a duel with Dante. It is without gravity a priori.
Draxler’s strike!
Well found in the penalty area of Nice, the German strikes without control … on an opponent. It will be a corner for PSG. Safe.
A yellow for Gouiri
A little too important commitment from the Aiglons striker in his counter-pressing for the loss of the ball and first yellow card against the OGCN this evening.
Lotomba seeks Dolberg
The Niçois are well in their game and are now supporting the attacks. It takes a nice intervention in the air from Kehrer to block Dolberg.
Gouiri skirts the wall…
The Nice striker sends a nice shot 29 meters from the opposing cage, without being able to surprise Donnarumma in front. The Italian lies down on the ball.
Danilo warned
The Portuguese midfielder fouls Kluivert to cut off a quick Aiglons attack. This is the first yellow card of the evening.
OOOOH VERRATTI!
The new PSG striker was almost there! After a nice acceleration from Messi, the ball is set back towards the Italian midfielder… who does not find the frame on his recovery.
In the stands, we want Mbappé
Not even 20 minutes of play without Kylian Mbappé and already the Parc des Princes without the need for its striker to improve the Parisian game and bring a minimum of danger.
Boudaoui for Gouiri!
What a difference made by Boudaoui, on an oriented control that leaves Nuno Mendes behind. His center then at 16 meters is taken over by Gouiri … who completely unscrews. Donnarumma watches the ball go out.
Corner for PSG
Dolberg calmly pushes back the center of Draxler and Nice will be able to breathe. Paris still has the ball, but it still lacks speed and accuracy.
The people of Nice in transition
After a back pass from Messi that was not strong enough, the Aiglons quickly tried their luck in attack. But Kluivert misses his control and then fouls Verratti, when he had lost the ball.
The strong center of Kluivert!
Nice’s first good chance in this match, thanks to a short and controlled raise from Bulka then an effective percussion from Thuram. At the end of the action, Kluivert puts the ball hard in front of the goal… and Donnarumma puts his hands on it without shaking.
Paris took the ball
The players of Pochettino have in any case chosen to impose their rhythm from the kick-off with long phases of possession of the ball. The Aiglons play low, with a compact block, to limit the risks.
Icardi launched in depth
The striker slips when seizing the ball … and then complains of a small blow received from Todibo, involuntarily. The ball is left to the Niçois.
Let’s go to the Park!
The kick-off is given by the Niçois in this 8th Coupe de France. So who will host Olympique de Marseille in the next round? We will know in 90 minutes (or barely more)!
And the entrance of the players
It will be high time to kick off the match, we are approaching 9:15 p.m., as planned. And the evening has only just begun.
Ambitious Galtier
Asked before the match on France television, Christophe Galtier had a positive speech to hope for a result this evening. “We had 0-0. We have to defend well but also have more possession and more highlights. In the league, we have suffered a lot. We have to find the right balance and I want to see my team (…) more enterprising, in the game, to bring danger to the Parisian goal.”
PSG-Nice, real shock of the season?
Tonight’s match will therefore pit the Ligue 1 leader against his runner-up… and the coach who took the title from the Parisians last season, at the head of Lille. However, in the league, PSG-Nice in early December had been particularly disappointing to give birth to a very sad 0-0. At least tonight there will be goals or penalty shootouts.
No Dembele in Paris
While the transfer window will end at the same time as this round of 16 of the Coupe de France, Ousmane Dembélé should not leave Barcelona this winter and stay until the end of the season, according to the latest information from Loïc Tanzi for RMC Sports.
