All coaches like to say that there is only one match that matters – the next one. But there are times when it’s difficult to keep calm and composed when you’ve got just a few days until the game that could make or break your entire season.PSG boss Mauricio Pochettino urged his players to be 100 per cent ready for tonight’s visit to Nice because they won’t be allowed to switch off – no matter how big their lead at the top of the table. If PSG wins the Champions League this year 😍❤️💙Just Imagine..🤤♥ pic.twitter.com/LgI3nxrxBp— EhsaN (@EhsaN_PSG) March 5, 2022 Team selection should reflect this attitude with heavy guns like Neymar and Angel Di Maria set to start. Kylian Mbappe will have to sit out the game at Allianz Riviera, which will probably allow him to be fully rested in Madrid. You just can’t get away from it – the Bernabeu is calling.##EDITORS_CHOICE##Nice are third in the Ligue 1 table, so this is a big game for the Parisians.

It would be a mistake to approach this Nice game thinking about Real Madrid. The best way to prepare for the Champions League match is to be at our best in Nice.Home team’s coach Christophe Galtier enjoyed pipping PSG to the title last season when he was in charge of LOSC Lille. This time around, the gap is too wide, but he will surely have a recipe on how to upset the former Tottenham Hotspur coach.Just try not to think about Madrid, boys.LIGUE 1 – ROUND 27FrIdayLorient – Olympique Lyonnais 1-4 (0-2)/Moffi 57 – Faivre 5, 78, Dembele 26, Toko Ekambi 59/Saturday19:00: (1.75) Lens (3.70) Brest (5.40)23:00: (5.00) Nice (3.70) PSG (1.80)Sunday15:00: (2.10) Saint-Etienne (3.50) Metz (3.80)17:00: (2.20) Nantes (3.25) Montpellier (3.80)17:00: (2.40) Bordeaux (3.25) Troyes (3.30)17:00: (1.45) Rennes (4.30) Angers (7.75)17:00: (3.20) Reims (3.15) Strasbourg (2.50)19:05: (1.73) Lille (3.80) Clermont (5.40)22:45: (2.35) Olympique Marseille (3.35) Monaco (3.30)**odds are subject to change
