Paris Saint-Germain
lost four players to
injury in a 2-2 Ligue
1 draw with Caen,
who scored both
goals in a dramatic
finale.
Laurent Blanc was
left to count the cost of Paris Saint-Germain's dramatic 2-2
draw with Caen after the Ligue 1 champions lost four players due
to injury and finished the game with nine men.
The Parisian giants looked set to reclaim top spot for the first
time since December when first-half goals from Zlatan
Ibrahimovic and Ezequiel Lavezzi put them in command at the
Parc des Princes on Saturday.
But injuries to Yohan Cabaye, Marquinhos, Serge Aurier and
Lucas Moura rocked PSG and the home side were left two players
down in the closing stages after making all three substitutions.
Caen made the most of their numerical advantage and stunned
Blanc's side as Emiliano Sala reduced the arrears with two
minutes to play before a stoppage-time free-kick from Herve
Bazile snatched a point.
PSG coach Blanc now faces the prospect of being depleted for
Tuesday's UEFA Champions League round of 16 first leg at home
to Chelsea.
The point ensured PSG moved level with second-placed Marseille,
who drew by the same scoreline against Reims on Friday, and a
point behind leaders Lyon ahead of their clash at Lorient on
Sunday.
The clash between Monaco and Montpellier was postponed due to
heavy rainfall in the principality.
