With very little soccer, PSG lost by the minimum to Nice as visitors and, thus, declares itself ready to face Real Madrid next Wednesday in the Champions League.
Mbappé is not starting or on the bench for this game, but not because of any injury, as he could not be available for this game due to the accumulation of yellow cards and will arrive fresh for the clash against Real Madrid.
In compliance with health protocols, PSG arrived at the stadium in search of another victory in Ligue 1. We have already told you that Mbappé will not start.
Nice are currently 16 points behind PSG in third overall and, if they win, would cut the lead to 13 points, although all indications are that the Parisians have all the ingredients to win the championship again.
PSG will visit Real Madrid on Wednesday in the second round of the Champions League, so arriving with a positive result will be key to continue advancing in both tournaments where titles are being sought.

Paris Saint Germain 0-0 Nice, 2022 (Coupe de France)
Faced with the erratic performance of some of the Parisian front line stars, such as Messi and Neymar, Kylian Mbappé has had to put on his hero's cape and save the day to obtain, on several occasions, positive results in the league, cup and Champions League.

Walter Benítez was the star last match to keep a clean sheet and earn a point as an away team, so his performance could be repeated against a Parisian team that usually creates several goals during the match, which is why he will have to be attentive under the three posts.

A few weeks ago, Nice defeated PSG on penalties as visitors to leave them out, reason why Mauricio Pochettino's squad will seek to take revenge and give a blow of authority towards the title of the local tournament; although it should be noted that in midweek they will visit Real Madrid, so there could be some changes thinking about that game.
If Nice wants to have any chance of winning Ligue 1, this is the game they have to win in order to close the gap with the Parisian team and tighten the leadership in the final stretch of the championship; they come from a 0-0 draw as visitors against Racing Strasbourg where Bonfim and Kliuvert were sent off and will not be in this match.
