OGC Nice continues its bad series in European competitions. Beaten in the 3rd preliminary round of the Champions League by the Benfica Lisbon (0-2, 0-2) last August, the Aiglons of Franck Haise bowed again this Wednesday at home, this time against AS Rome (1-2), for their entry into the Europa League.
A failed start that hardly inspires optimism. Like Daniel Riolo, some observers seriously doubt the chances of qualification of the gym. For the editorialist of RMC, the French Riviera team has too many deficiencies to hope to cross the league phase.
The final verdict
“You watch the matches that remain – their menu – and you say to yourself: 'But when they can take ten points?' I think it takes ten or eleven points to pass and I do not see where they take them. Nice was not ridiculous. Nice played against a stronger team. They tried to do but it is a weak team, which lacks talent and which is not in place collectively ”analyzed the polemicist.
On October 2, Nice will move on the lawn of Fenerbahçe, then to that of Celta Vigo on October 23. In November, the resident of Ligue 1 will continue with the reception of Friborg on the 6th, then a shock on the lawn of FC Porto on December 27. On December 11, the Gym will face Sporting Braga, before concluding against Go Ahead Eagles and the PFK Ludogorets Razgrad, January 22 and 29, 2026.
