PSG boss Luis Enrique has hailed Strasbourg after his side battled back to claim a point in Ligue 1 on Friday night.
Despite going 1-0 up in Paris, the visitors rallied, taking a shock 3-1 lead and stunning the home crowd in the French capital.
But as ever, PSG were dangerous until the final minute, grabbing two late goals to snatch a point and spare their blushes.
It was a rare off night for the champions, who were missing Ballon d’Or winner Ousamen Dembele.
But Enrique had no excuses for his side’s performance on the night, and plenty of praise for his opposite manager Liam Rosenior.
Speaking after the game, he said: “I like the way Liam is playing this team. I knew how difficult the match would be.
“This season, I have to manage the pre- and post-international break. I have to control the physical load of my players. The goals conceded? We had a good start to the match.
“We showed our superiority with and without the ball. The end of the first half was worse, we suffered. The intensity was better in the second half.
“The final part of the match was very positive. It’s a shame because the fans were incredible, they deserved more.
“No coach takes pleasure in conceding three goals. I’m looking to improve my work. I have the opportunity to get a lot of information.
“We were superior, we were able to score the goals. It was close, tough. They’re a young team, but a very good team.”
