PSG boss Carlo Ancelotti has hailed his side’s defensive solidarity in recent weeks, having kept a clean sheet in the last three games.

PSG, led by defender and captain Thiago Silva, have kept out Valenciennes, Evian and most recently, Lyon.

Ancelotti told L’Equipe: “I am very happy. We are in a good run. Defensively, our second half was perfect, they did not have many chances.”

“It is not important,” he said concerning keeping clean sheets. “I would remind you that we were there last year but in the end it was Montpellier who were champions.”

Thiago Silva praised Ancelotti’s role in PSG’s development this season: “I have always said the coach is important, he changed the game but if the players do not follow what he says, you will not win games.

“He is a good coach, he has won everything in his career. We want to continue like this but it is difficult to keep up this rhythm, especially because we will have the Champions League to contend with.”
