PSG still confident of claiming Ligue 1 crown

"We're not always at our best but there is not much that could prevent us from becoming champions," defender Christophe Jallet told a news conference on Wednesday.

PSG, who have drawn their last three league matches, snatched a last-gasp, 4-4 draw at Olympique Lyon last Sunday after showing great character in a dramatic encounter at Gerland stadium.

"Something happened in Lyon. Equalising in the very last minute in such an important game means a lot," said Jallet. "We gained some extra mental strength."

"I hope this collective strength will help us excel because the final sprint is about to start and we can't drop many more points, especially at home," he said.

"I played them this season when I was at Stade Brest," Lille striker Nolan Roux, who joined from the Brittany side during the January transfer window, said on the club's website.

"They like to sit back and wait and stab you on counter-attacks. But we now need three points in every home game."
