Paris Saint-Germain’s aspirations of a possible treble-winning campaign have come to an end, as the side has been eliminated in the Coupe de France round of 16 at the hands of OGC Nice.

After a scoreless 90 minutes of action, PSG and OGC Nice went into a penalty shootout bout. After keen saves from goalkeepers Gianluigi Donnarumma and Marcin Bulka, OGC Nice got the last laugh in this match following Xavi Simons’ miss.

PSG still has an opportunity to finish the campaign with a double, with possible triumphs in the UEFA Champions League and Ligue 1 competitions.
