Monaco postponed Paris Saint-­Germain's (PSG) march toward a second successive Ligue 1 title after Dimitar Berbatov's cheeky goal earned them a 1-0 win against neighbors Nice on Sunday to cement second place in the standings.

Bulgarian striker Berbatov casually lobbed David Ospina from the edge of the box in the fifth minute to put his side on 72 points with four games left.

Claudio Ranieri's side trail leaders PSG by seven points with the French champions playing their game in hand against Evian on Wednesday.

Had Monaco lost on Sunday, PSG could have wrapped up the title on Wednesday with a victory against lowly Evian.

Sunday's result means that provided PSG beat Evian, the earliest they can wrap up their second successive Ligue 1 title is next weekend if the Paris club beat Sochaux away or pick up as many points as Monaco.
