Paris Saint-Germain delivered a solid performance against OGC Nice, winning 4-0 on Saturday March 22, 2026, at Allianz Riviera. Four days after qualifying for the Champions League quarterfinals against Chelsea, Luis Enrique's side controlled the game despite a sluggish first half. Nuno Mendes opened the scoring with a perfect panenka penalty late in the first half, then assisted Désiré Doué for the second goal right after halftime. Warren Zaïre-Emery also scored, securing the emphatic win that puts PSG top of Ligue 1 heading into the international break, ahead of improving Lens, whom Luis Enrique called a serious title rival. Nice, coached by Claude Puel, suffered an eighth straight home league defeat and were reduced to ten men after Youssouf Ndayishimiye's indisputable red card shortly after halftime. Despite saves from goalkeeper Yéhvann Diouf, especially against Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Nice could not compete. Luis Enrique hailed a 'perfect evening', stating: 'We controlled the match, it wasn't easy, these are important three points because Lens keeps improving and it will be difficult until the end'. Warren Zaïre-Emery added: 'All matches are tough, they try to press us'. PSG lost two players to injury: Lee Kang-In and Senny Mayulu.
