Paris St Germain must react like champions after being knocked out of the Champions League last week as they face a trip to Dijon and a home game against bitter rivals Olympique de Marseille in Ligue 1, coach Thomas Tuchel said on Monday.
PSG were eliminated from the Champions League on away goals by Manchester United after a 3-1 home defeat that followed their 2-0 win at Old Trafford in the last-16 tie.
The Ligue 1 title is virtually in the bag as they have 71 points from 26 games, 14 ahead of second-placed Lille who have played two more games.
'It's the essence of sport to be able to swallow tough things up,' Tuchel told a news conference on the eve of the Dijon game.
'The team, the staff and myself want to show that we can react like champions.'
The PSG players received a cool reception from their fans when they resumed training on Sunday, four days after becoming the first team in Europe's premier club competition to be knocked out after winning an opening leg 2-0 away from home.
They will be without German midfielder Julian Draxler for several weeks due to a muscle problem and striker Edinson Cavani, on his way back from injury, has been left out of the squad.
PSG play Dijon on Tuesday and host Marseille at the Parc des Princes on Sunday.

Playing in a uncompetitive league can not make players champion minded . They use their minds for money and lack confidence in big competition .
7/10 and 4/5 in European competition and you call us farmers leagu

Madrid and Barça have won of the last 10 UCLs while Sevilla and ATM have won 4 of the last 5 UEL. So you see boy we dominate in all not only in La Liga. Know as from today that our league is not farmers league like in France where they are unable to win a single European competition

Well Spain is not farmers league boy. The problem in Spain is that the two best teams in the world Madrid and Barcelona are found there. They do not only dominate La Liga but they dominate European competitions. Spanish teams have won 7 of the last 10 champions league and 5 of 4 of the the last 7 Europa League. So know as from today that Spanish league is not farmers league

PSG Domination is so much . i dont know how they are not violating fpp . Normally no body will watch french league other than football fans of france . So they should have less money to spent . Now thay are spenting 400 on just 2 players and now Paredes ....I think there is corruption in fifa by favouring psg
