Paris Saint-Germain manager Laurent Blanc has congratulated his players after they reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League with a 6-1 aggregate win over Bayer Leverkusen.
The Frenchman admitted that his side made a slow start to the second leg, but believes that their positive mindset helped them progress to the last eight of the competition.
"Maybe our difficult start is due to the lack of experience," Blanc told reporters. "We saw that Champions League level is different from French league level.
"I'm not saying the mindset was not good, I'm just saying that it's the Champions League and it's a bit harder. But I congratulate them, I'm happy."
PSG fell behind to an early Sidney Sam goal in the second leg, but went on to win it 2-1 thanks to strikes from Marquinhos and Ezequiel Lavezzi.
