Paris Saint-Germain coach Unai Emery lamented a
missed opportunity for his team after their Ligue 1
title chances were dealt a huge blow in a loss to
Nice.
Thiago Motta and Angel Di Maria were sent off late
in the 3-1 defeat on Sunday as PSG were left
second in the table.
Monaco are three points clear at the top and have
a game in hand, leaving PSG's hopes of a fifth
consecutive league title hanging in the balance.
Emery rued the defeat but said his team would
continue fighting as long as finishing top was
mathematically possible.
"We lost a good opportunity," he told a news
conference.
"It is a very hard result for us. We lost three very
important points, but as long as we have a chance
to play for the title, we will continue to push."
Mario Balotelli and Ricardo Pereira struck for Nice
before Marquinhos gave PSG hope just after the
hour-mark.
Motta and Di Maria were shown straight red cards
either side of Anastasios Donis' 92nd-minute
sealer as the visitors imploded.
Emery said: "We are three points ahead of Nice.
"We will continue to fight for first place and try to
secure second."
