The season has been far from ideal for Nice. After 26 Ligue 1 rounds, the team has only 27 points, which places them 15th in the league table. However, the gap from the relegation zone remains fairly comfortable at 8 points. In the French Cup, the “red and blacks” have already qualified for the semifinals, where they will face Strasbourg. In addition, the French side also took part in the Europa League, but managed to earn only 3 points from 8 matches, which was not enough to qualify for the playoffs.
For PSG, the season has, as usual, been very confident. In 25 French league matches, PSG have collected 57 points, which puts them at the top of the standings. The lead over their closest rival, Lens, is only 1 point, but Lens has played one more match. PSG crashed out of the national cup in the Round of 32 after a narrow loss to Paris FC. In the Champions League, the Parisians are performing excellently – in the Round of 32, they eliminated Monaco (5:4), and in the Round of 16, they defeated Chelsea (2:8). In the quarterfinals, the team will face a serious challenge – a match against Liverpool.
