Maxime Lopez dictated the game from midfield, steering Paris FC to a 3-0 win over Nice. His control and clean distribution underpinned the result.

From early on he kept the ball moving through tight spaces, taking two touches at most and bouncing possession forward to pin Les Aiglons back. His angles and tempo carried Paris FC up the pitch.

After the restart he continued to recycle and progress possession, switching play when pressure arrived and threading passes between the lines to keep Les Aiglons chasing. The rhythm stayed on his terms.

He finished with 104 passes, 100 completed, plus 15 successful final third passes and six recoveries, a blend that explained why Paris FC controlled territory without fuss.

Because passing lanes were always open in front of him, he could receive on the half turn and connect attacks early, ensuring Paris FC managed the key phases and never let the contest drift.

Paris FC rise from fifth to first in Ligue 1. Les Aiglons drop from fourth to 17th. Paris FC visit Marseille next. Les Aiglons host Le Mans next.
