Four months without a loss: the Saints' dream of a treble continues

Paris Saint-Germain are doing well this season under the command of the former coach of Roma, Barcelona and Celta and the former captain of Spain, Luis Enrique. He reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League, where he failed the previous two times when the team included the 'Galacticos', Neymar and Lionel Messi. The Ligue 1 title is certain, and there is a chance for a treble as they are also in the running for the Coupe de France trophy.

The rival in the quarter-finals tonight at Parc des Princes is a shaken Nice, who are in terrible shape. The winner of this duel goes to the semi-finals to face Rennes, while the first semi-final pair is known - Lyon will welcome the most pleasant surprise in this years campaign, Valenciennes.

The team from the Cote d'Azur has only won a point in their previous five matches. The fans are dissatisfied, and the rebellion was felt by the players after the game and defeat against Montpellier at home (1-2) the previous weekend.

Paris Saint-Germain have been undefeated in all competitions for four months, since the defeat at San Siro by Milan (1-2) in the group stage of the Champions League. At the weekend, Reims took a point (2-2) in the City of Light, but a 10-point lead over nearest rival Brest gives Enrique the freedom to "shuffle" the cards a little in the championship, before the decisive battle in the Champions League. Sociedad was easily eliminated in the round of 16 in two matches, and we will see how much the Saints can do in the last months with Kylian Mbappe in the team before the transfer to Real Madrid.

Enrique will not calculate for tonight's duel. According to the announcements of the French media, the Spaniard will face Nice with the strongest squad. Kylian Mbappe will also play from the start, and his partners in attack will be Dembele and Barcola. Skriniar, Rico, Marquinhos, Kurzawa, Kimpembe and Asensio are still out due to injuries. The visitors arrive in the capital of France without the injured Diop and Rosier.

Nice is the only team in France that managed to beat the reigning champions and that happened in Paris at the start of the season - the team from the Cote d'Azur won at Parc des Princes with 3-2. Two goals for the Saints were Mbappe's work, while the hero of Nice was Terem Moffi, the Nigerian who hit the net twice. Now the former Lorient player is out of form, only one goal in 2024. He was absent from the team for a long time at the beginning of the year because of the African Cup of Nations.
