An injury inside the opening 20 minutes forced Thiago Silva to leave the pitch in PSG"s Champions League quarter-final defeat to Barcelona, and Blanc admitted it was a huge blow for his team.

Les Parisiens" captain was withdrawn inside the first half due to a thigh issue, adding to the selection problems for the coach, who was already without Zlatan Ibrahimović, Marco Verratti, Serge Aurier and Thiago Motta also missed out through injury. PSG coach Blanc said: “When I saw Thiago Silva come off, I immediately knew that the evening would be difficult to live with. The injury to Thiago Silva was the start of our problems. We had to replace him with a player who was not 100 per cent fit. My players gave their all, hence there is disappointment in the dressing room. In addition, we lost another player to injury [Silva] and this is a new blow."
