It never looked like an easy encounter. Paris Saint-Germain headed to the Stade de l’Abbé-Deschamps, looking to do what only AS Monaco have succeeded in doing this season and beating AJ Auxerre.
Thanks to the 0-0 draw against PSG, Auxerre are now five games unbeaten at home and have the second-best home record in Ligue 1. In that time, they have beaten the likes of OGC Nice, Stade Rennais, and Stade Brestois at the Stade de l’Abbé-Deschamps.
Auxerre had to dig deep to secure a point against Ligue 1 leaders PSG, and they were reliant on a man-of-the-match performance from Donovan Léon (32), who made 11 saves on the night, including two big ones late in extra-time. His performance garnered a rare ’10’ rating from **L’Équipe.**
Despite dropping points in successive games in Ligue 1, Luis Enrique wasn’t overly critical of his players. _“It is a positive analysis. The result doesn’t reflect the match. In the second half, we increased our rhythm, we pushed, we had more chances. I have nothing to criticise from my players. They had a good match,”_ said the PSG manager post-match.
_Les Parisiens’_ lack of efficiency in front of goal was once again an issue, but as Luis Enrique states, there are no easy solutions to remedy the problem. _“We are creating lots of situations. We have to be more precise and finish better, and this is the objective for all of us. There is no magic formula: we have to have more chances and be capable of scoring,”_ said the PSG manager.
