Is it possible to stall an Airbus fly-by -wire aircraft in Normal Law ?

If PF has unreliable speed indications and overspeed protection comes in , forcing the nose-up , could the aircraft stall whilst the pilot is pushing stick full down whilst the overspeed protection is forcing the nose up regardless of inputs due to the wrong speed being sensed.
Or does AofA protection over-rule overspeed protection or would now alternate law without protections be the case.
Please forgive me if this has been covered and I've failed to find it and forgive my abysmal ignorance if the answer is obvious and I cannot see it.
I have 9,000 + hours in command of Airbus fly-by-wire and have endured over 40 simulator sessions where my lack of knowledge has been shoved down my throat, and am on my 8th Airbus company so I am fully prepared for more abuse in my seeking for knowledge.
