Monaco Delay PSG's Title Party With Win Over Nice
AS Monaco kept Paris Saint-Germain's champagne on ice after a hard-fought 1-0 victory against OGC Nice in Ligue 1's 27th round. The result means PSG must wait at least another week to mathematically secure their 12th French title, despite holding a commanding 21-point lead at the summit.
Swiss international Breel Embolo proved the difference-maker, firing home the decisive goal in the 73rd minute at Stade Louis II. The victory sees Monaco leapfrog both Nice and Olympique Marseille into second place, intensifying the battle for Champions League qualification spots.
