Two clubs in opposite halves of the Ligue 1 table will do battle today in a league match between OGC Nice and Paris Saint-Germain. The first-division clash scheduled for 3:45 p.m. ET will be held at the Allianz Riviera Stadium in Nice and can be live streamed here free.
A week after learning they will face Chelsea in the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League, Paris Saint-Germain will look to refocus on their league form this afternoon, something they failed to do last week according to manager Laurent Blanc (h/t to Goal). "I would say the players weren't thinking about Chelsea but all the journalists we came across talked only about that and it made it difficult to think about Lorient," Blanc said. "We've done really good things since the start of the season but we've won nothing yet," he added.
"We can't expect to win every game three, four or five-nil. We got the win though and I need to congratulate my players, even if they weren't extraordinary."
"We need to keep improving on our records and I hope we'll win trophies come the end of the season."
