    SOUNDBITE: (French) Laurent Blanc, Head Coach - Paris St Germain:

    "The first half of the season, we had to hang on, but since 2015 not many teams could follow the rhythm that we imposed and that's why we have made the difference. If you see the ranking, indeed, it has been more complicated than last year but last year there was a team that has followed us till the very end: the team of Monaco. Monaco obtained 80 points last year. It has been a much more tenacious opponent than Lyon or Marseille. We tend to forget that."

    "We really had major problems with injured players. I believe we have not been the only team of having suffered of injuries. We are actually making a study to investigate if a club that has been asked to deliver a lot of players for the World Cup, had more injured players than other teams. Apparently that's the case, look at Bayern Munich for instance. So it's not illogical that we had a lot of injured players. And when a certain player reaches a certain age, one is questioning himself, but when he (Zlatan Ibrahimovic) was valid, he has been at a very good level, especially for his national team."
