PSG, who had already secured a fourth consecutive Ligue 1 title at the start of this month, now falls short of equalling the record for the longest unbeaten run from the beginning of a French season.

Germain's bid to go unbeaten in Ligue 1 was ruined on Friday when it lost to Nice 3-1. PSG’s first home defeat in almost a year was a shock reverse for a club which clinched the French league title three weeks ago and was shifting its focus to the Champions League semifinal first leg at Arsenal on Tuesday.
