Paris Saint-Germain suffered its first defeat of the Ligue 1 season and its second defeat in a row, losing 1-0 at Guingamp on Sunday. Last Wednesday, Laurent Blanc’s men surrenderedtop spot in UEFA Champions League Group F, losing 3-1 at Barcelona. After Sunday’s loss, Blanc said: “The reality is that this afternoon there was a lack of collective and individualconcentration. This is our problem. In a team there are leaders, and when it’s not going the way you want, these leaders and also the coach, of course, they have to raise their game to ensurethat the collective do too.” Nevertheless, AS Monaco’s 1-0 win at home to Ligue 1 leader Marseille meant that the gap at the top remained one-point for second-place PSG.
