Paris Saint-Germain boss Laurent Blanc has admitted that Tuesday's 1-0 defeat at Real Madrid in the Champions League was a difficult result to take.

PSG had more possession and more clear-cut chances at the Bernabeu, but a first-half effort from Nacho saw the home side claim all the points.

Blanc has conceded that his side's inability to finish 'bothered him', but he has lavished praise on his team's overall performance in Spain.

"Of course it bothers me. We could have been more effective, but we created good chances. Sometimes you score and others not," AS quotes Blanc as saying.

"When you hit the post three times you realise you don't lack much. We came for a result we failed to get, but we played well. We had chances and didn't score. I hope we get so many in other games and we're more accurate.

"We've shown enthusiasm, we've organised ourselves well, we have individual quality and we have shown we can keep up. And that's very positive."

French champions PSG remain second in Group A on seven points.
