A first! Paris Saint-Germain bowed for the first time in Ligue 1 this season, Friday, against OGC Nice. The gym won at the Parc des Princes 3-1, on the sidelines of the 31st day of the championship, putting an end to a series of Parisians of 30 games without only loss. An outcome that the Canaries followed closely, and with some pleasure.
With this defeat, FC Nantes retains a record that is dear to it: that of the longest series without defeat in the history of Ligue 1. This record, established during the legendary 1994 – 1995 season, amounts to 32 consecutive games without the slightest setbacks. For several weeks, while PSG has been advancing undefeated, the specter of seeing the men of Luis Enrique equal, or even exceed this brand, worried the Nantes supporters.
However, Friday evening, the Aiglons played the spoilsport at the Parc des Princes, offering the Canaries a new opportunity to recall their place in the history of French football. On social networks, FC Nantes was quick to react after the Nice victory. With a message as sober as it is tasty, the club celebrated the preservation of this record, discreetly highlighting its attachment to this historic feat.
Maintenance objective
However, we must not forget the urgency of the moment. Currently in great difficulty in the championship, the men of Antoine Kombouaré fight for their survival in League 1. While the end of the season is approaching, FC Nantes is not yet mathematically saved and remains under the threat of a relegation in Ligue 2.
The club is currently 4 points from the Barragist and AS Saint-Etienne, 17th in the ranking. It remains to be seen whether the Canaries, galvanized by this little historical revenge on PSG, will find in this symbolic momentum the necessary force to finish their exercise on a more positive note.
