PSG end Nice’s hopes of a Champions League spot

NICE, France: Paris St Germain beat 10-man Nice 2-1 away in Ligue 1 on Wednesday, leaving the hosts with no chance of a top-four finish.

PSG, who have already clinched the title and are preparing for the Coupe de France final on May 25, have 73 points, while Nice are fifth on 54 points. With one match remaining, they are four points behind fourth-placed Brest, ensuring they cannot qualify for the Champions League. Bradley Barcola opened the scoring for Luis Enrique’s side in the 18th minute and Yoram Zague added a second five minutes later. Nice managed to get on the scoreboard before the break through Mohamed-Ali Cho who was played in by Jeremie Boga. However, their hopes of an equaliser were hit when Melvin Bard was sent off in the 75th minute for a foul on Barcola.
