Nice beaten at home by Troyes

Napoli’s Champions League opponents Nice were beaten at home by newly promoted Troyes.

The Partenopei face the French side on Wednesday night in the first leg of their Champions League play-off, but Les Aiglons were beaten on Ligue 1 duty tonight.

The hosts presented new signing Wesley Sneijder before kick-off, and were without Mario Balotelli due to a knee injury.

Troyes came up via the Ligue 2 play-offs last season, but they took a shock lead at the Allianz Riviera after 53 minutes.
