On a beautiful series of 8 consecutive matches without defeat, the Gym traveled to Brittany with the ambition to make a splash and climb the rankings. The Aiglons, who were content to hold a draw throughout the match, deserved to lose against a dominant and more ambitious Rennes team.
This is a defeat that already seems decisive in the 2022-23 season for OGC Nice. Even though Nice resisted SFRC, the logical favorite of the match, this setback is very painful. Through this absolutely harmless performance, the major problem since the beginning of the season can no longer be overlooked. Nice supporters are still waiting for improvements in this area of play, which are yet to appear.
Even if the Gym resisted Rennes’ attacks well, it did not play a match. Favre and his staff can thank Barkley for his very fine initiative that allowed the Gym to compete on the scoreboard. But Rennes logically won thanks to their determination and ball control.
End of the undefeated series for OGC Nice, which returns to the Cรดte d’Azur, now standing only at 11th place in Ligue 1.
