Paris Saint-Germain coach Laurent Blanc admits he is disappointed with his side's performance in their 1-0 win over Nice last night, but is putting it down to a Chelsea focus from his players.
An Edinson Cavani goal in the 52nd minute downed Nice and sent PSG 13 points clear at the top of Ligue 1, although Monaco could peg that back to ten if they win their game later today.

The performance and slender victory did not please Blanc, but he can find a reason as to why it occurred.
"It wasn't good, but we managed a result which gave us the three points", he said post-match.
