Paris Saint-Germain's bid to become the first team to go unbeaten through a Ligue 1 season ended in disappointment on Saturday (IST), as they suffered a 3-1 defeat to Nice at the Parc des Princes.

PSG's first home defeat in almost a year was a shock reverse for a club who clinched the French league title three weeks ago and were shifting their focus to the Champions League semifinal first leg at Arsenal on Tuesday.

Despite having already clinched the title earlier this month, the loss brought their 30-game unbeaten league run to a halt. PSG remain atop the Ligue 1 table with 78 points while Nice climbed to fourth with 54, boosting their Champions League hopes.

The win lifted Nice into fourth place, equal on points with Monaco and a point behind second-placed Marseille.

PSG coach Luis Enrique rested several starters but it was still one-way traffic as the hosts dominated the early stages.

However, profligate finishing and an inspired performance by Nice goalkeeper Marcin Bulka kept PSG scoreless.
