“The transfer window is finished”, confirmed Patrick Vieira on Friday evening after his side’s win at the Groupama Stadium and with just one hour to go until the window slams shut.

Asked whether he was disappointed by the fact that no further reinforcement would be on its way, the Nice coach replied with a clear “no” whilst speaking on Canal+: “No, I am not disappointed. I have always said that we had a good squad, a nice team. We were lacking a bit of luck, confidence, to have a match we could refer to. We had it this evening. The players showed that we have quality. There was solidarity there too. Now, we need to continue to work.”
