PSG were forced to come from behin🔯d to maintain their unbeaten start to 2024-25, with Nuno Mendes cancelling out Ali Abdi's opener early in the second half.
The French champions were unable to find a winner de𒆙spite enjoying 71.1% of the possessi🌜on and attempting 19 shots to Nice's eight. Nice's possession share of 28.8% was their lowest in Ligue 1 since December 2011 (28.7% versus Lille).
The result leaves PSG second in the table with 17 points, two adrift ofꦚ Monaco.
It is theꦑ second season in a row that PSG have not led Ligue 1 after seven matchdays, having sat fifth at this stage last term. They topped the table after seven games in five of the previous six cam𒉰paigns (second in 2020-21).
"We are at the beginning of the season. The start seems promising to me. I like what I see. I think it's a much better start th♑an last season," Luis Enri♎que told a press conference on Sunday.
"Grades are given at the end of the season. ♓When the season is over we'll see the grade...
"The important thing is tꩵo win the league. The most important thing is to be in conteඣntion for all the titles."
The Spaniard did add, however, that simple errors had proven costl𓆉y, saying: "There was a level o𓄧f inaccuracy from most of the players that was not usual and a lot of very simple technical actions, easy passes, situations that we normally solve, a very high number of unusual mistakes.
He was, though, proud of his players' reacti🧸on 🐲to falling behind midway through the first half.
"I am especially proud after a bad first half. A reall🦹y bad one. I'm proud of their spirit. They concentrated on the game, on trying to turn the game around," he said.
PSG face Strasbourg in their neꦍxt league 🎐game on October 19, before taking on PSV in the Champions League three days later.
