Laurent Blanc: 'Shakhtar Donetsk result flattered Paris Saint-Germain'

Paris Saint-Germain boss Laurent Blanc admits that his side did not deserve their 3-0 Champions League win at Shakhtar Donetsk.

Laurent Blanc has admitted that Paris Saint-Germain's 3-0 Champions League win at Shakhtar Donetsk on Wednesday 'flattered' his troops.

First-half goals from defenders Serge Aurier and David Luiz sent the visitors well on their way in Ukraine, before a Dario Srna own goal in the dying moments of the clash added gloss to a scoreline which Blanc claims does not reflect the contest.

"The score may be flattering, but the victory is well deserved," Les Parisiens' coach told Canal+. "The way we played was satisfactory, to get three points here is good.

"We said before the game that the opponent was quality, and they confirmed that. They had some interesting play that caused us problems in possession, so to not concede against a team like this means we defended very well.

"At 2-0 we felt the need to push for a third. It was slow, yes, but eventually we got it. Shakhtar always stuck to their philosophy and they gave us a good game."

PSG and Real Madrid sit top of Group A with six points apiece, with both European heavyweights poised to clash at Parc de Princes on matchday three.
