AS Monaco have finally toppled Ligue 1, after impressing throughout this entire rather competitive Ligue 1 season. As only one win separates the mid-table team from the relegation fighters, the season is at its crunch point.

Ligue 1 action continued this past weekend with PSG taking on league leaders Nice. A good draw away from home ensured the leaders could take away some positives for the remainder of the season.

The fairytale ride of Nice has faltered for the time being, as the injury of Mario Balotelli has meant that the club from the southeast of France are barely getting over the line right now.

PSG and Monaco were rampant in a weekend where Nice failed to register a victory over little ol' Caen. However, some superior forces were plying their trade for the Parisiens in their latest victory.
