&Like several performances since the start of the season, football fans were treated to a two-faced PSG this Sunday evening. &In Nice, the Parisians were held (1-1) at the end of the seventh day of the French championship. &At the Allianz Riviera, Luis Enrique took the gamble of starting Ousmane Dembélé, back in the squad. From the start of the match, the Aiglons took the match by the right end and were very dangerous, & the image of numerous breakthroughs by Evann Guessand, positioned on the right side. If the Parisians do not crack, they end up folding six minutes from the end of regulation time in the first period. On a corner that is pushed back, Ali Abdi takes over and strikes. A deflected attempt that deceives Donnarumma (1-0, 39th), rewarding the many efforts of Franck Haise's players who have achieved a first period of very high level.
After the break, Luis Enrique replaced Randal Kolo Muani with Kang-In Lee. The Parisians returned with a new face, greater ambitions and automatisms. Ousmane Dembélé and his teammates shifted into high gear. On a corner, Dembélé served Nuno Mendes back who shot with his right foot. Bombito touched the ball but Bulka was beaten on his right (1-1, 52nd). Until the end of the match, the two teams traded blows where the Parisians hit the post with Marquinhos. If the Niçois responded presently, the Parisians corrected the “too” numerous unusual technical inaccuracies to bring danger to the opposing goal. The two teams leave back to back before the international break while Paris Saint-Germain loses the lead in Ligue 1 with this draw.
Franck Haise on DAZN: “The plan worked pretty well. We made several adaptations. We played our transitions well. There were things to get on our right side. We have to follow through with our intentions. We knew we weren't going to have 50% possession. As soon as we could press to hurt, we had to give it our all. We managed their deep players pretty well. We were disciplined. First of all, satisfied with the behavior of the players, of the team, including when it was more complicated. We have to be satisfied with the point tonight. The ambition, we have to determine it. It's great to have to play every match.”
Luis Enrique on DAZN: “It was a difficult first half for us. We couldn't be good with the ball. In the second half, it was different, we were better. That's football. We were very imprecise, we missed passes that you never miss”.
After this match, the Parisians will be able to break with their respective selections. PSG's next match will take place on October 19: it will be at the Parc des Princes with the reception of Strasbourg.

It's a huge blessing to still be here. I'm happy to help my team. There's frustration because we had more clear chances. We were very good. We respected the coach's tactics. We must respect our opponents and do what we can.”
Bradley Barcola on DAZN: “The first half, we weren't really in it. The second half, it was a shame that we didn't score on our chances. It's always difficult to play here”.
