Paris Saint-Germain coach Laurent Blanc insists his team are still motivated at a news conference on Thursday (28th May) despite already being champions of Ligue 1 as they prepare to face Rennes.

SOUNDBITE: (French) Laurent Blanc, Paris Saint-Germain coach:

(about the holidays in Las Vegas for a few players like Zlatan Ibrahimovic)

"I don't think anything. I don't comment (about) the holidays of my players - is that clear? The players - they do what they want to do. They had three days off, to rest, it's me who gave to them three days off. I said why I did it and I think it's good. And, when I say 'my players' it's not only five of them, or six, it's a team of 25 players, and the technical staff. I don't have to make any comment about what they are doing, whatever they are! Young or with more experience! I don't have to comment about what they do, that is their private life, they do what they want to do. What I'm interested in, is their motivation when they are coming back to prepare for the games."
