PSG lost despite a brilliant double by Kylian Mbappe, who now has seven goals in four games this season after his return to the team.

With the result, Nice, managed by 34-year-old Italian Francesco Farioli, move above PSG in the table into second behind Monaco.

PSG had a presentation before kick-off for nine-time Ligue 1 title-winning midfielder Marco Verratti, who has just completed a move to Qatari side Al-Arabi.
