Intro:

Paris Saint Germain can go 8 points clear of Monaco in Ligue 1 if they beat Claudio Ranieri's side at the Stade Louis II.

Eric Abidal is used to winning trophies with Barcelona, now back at Monaco he realises the game with PSG is a must win for Monaco if they are to stand a chance of winning the French title.

Script:

SOUNDBITE (French)

"It's not match point. The Parisians can strike a big blow. They continue the good results. They score goals in all their matches. That becomes a machine of war. We should not admit defeat though. There are many matches left in the championship. If Paris wins, there will be a large gap. But, there are many more days to come, so we can hope."
