Nice continued to showcase their good form by securing a 1-0 victory over Lille, with the lone goal scored by M. Bodmer just before halftime. This result leaves Lille in third place in the championship with 41 points.
However, there’s a noticeable gap between Lille and the top two teams, Monaco with 49 points and PSG with 54 points. Many observers, including Monaco’s coach Claudio Ranieri, believe that this weekend’s matches may have effectively decided the outcome of the French championship.
Ranieri expressed his disappointment despite Monaco’s 2-2 draw against Lorient, stating that he felt his team deserved the victory. He acknowledged Lorient’s strong performance but remained positive about the result, emphasizing the importance of securing at least one point. Looking ahead, Ranieri highlighted the upcoming match against Paris Saint-Germain but also emphasized the challenges posed by other tough opponents like Bastia.
