Ligue 1 McDonald's • Journée 11 ALLIANZ RIVIERA
Founded in 1970, Paris Saint-Germain is the capital's flagship club and has been one of the most consistent representatives of Ligue 1 McDonald's in European competition over the past decade. Domestically, PSG boasts the most impressive trophy haul in French football, with 11 French league titles, 14 French Cups, 11 Champions Trophies and 9 League Cups, holding the record in the latter three competitions. In the 2024-25 season, PSG claimed their first-ever UEFA Champions League title, thrashing Inter Milan 5-0 in the final. They then made it back-to-back European titles the following season, defeating Arsenal, the reigning English champions, on penalties. A historic first for French football.
Despite an encouraging first half and several promising opportunities, the Aiglons fell to Paris Saint-Germain at the Allianz Riviera (0-4). Well organised in their 3-5-2 formation, Claude Puel's men held firm against Paris' attacks for long spells, thanks to an inspired Yehvann Diouf and a resolute defence marshalled by Dante and Juma Bah. The turning point came just before half-time, when Nuno Mendes converted a penalty. PSG quickly doubled their lead after the restart, before Youssouf Ndayishimiye's dismissal on the hour mark made Nice's task even more difficult. Brave but ultimately outclassed, the Niçois eventually succumbed to the collective strength of the Parisian league leaders.
In their last 10 Ligue 1 meetings with Paris Saint-Germain, OGC Nice have recorded 3 wins, 2 draws and 5 defeats, scoring 10 goals and conceding 15.
Thanks to an imperious performance from Marcin Bułka on Matchday 31 of the 2024-25 season, OGC Nice claimed a 3-1 victory over PSG. The defeat prevented the capital club from breaking the Ligue 1 unbeaten record, which is still held by FC Nantes with 32 consecutive matches without defeat. PSG’s run therefore came to an end at 30 matches.
The Parc des Princes has a capacity of 48,580 spectators and is located 685 km from the Allianz Riviera, as the crow flies on Mèfi's back.
Having come through the ranks at Chelsea, Marcin Bułka joined Paris Saint-Germain in the summer of 2019. At the Parisian club, the Polish goalkeeper made his Ligue 1 debut, playing his first minutes against Metz and then Lens. Despite facing fierce competition for a place between the posts in Paris, he gained valuable experience, notably through loan spells at Cartagena (Spanish second division) and Châteauroux (Ligue 2). His career took a new turn in 2021 when he joined OGC Nice, initially on loan. It was against his former club, PSG, that he made a particular impression, playing a decisive role in the penalty shoot-out in the Coupe de France. Today, Marcin Bułka embodies OGC Nice's success. Named the club's Player of the Season for 2023-24, he has established himself as one of the best goalkeepers in Ligue 1. During the 2024-25 season, he made 34 appearances, keeping 8 clean sheets and conceding 41 goals.
