Luis Enrique insists he has “nothing to complain about” after Paris Saint-Germain were held to a goalless draw by Auxerre.
The Ligue 1 leaders dropped points for the second game in a row after an inspired performance from Auxerre goalkeeper Donovan Leon at Stade de l'Abbe Deschamps.
Fabian Ruiz saw a first-half goal disallowed for offside as PSG failed to score in a league match for the first time this season.
Their cause was not helped by Leon, who made 11 saves during the match – the most for a keeper keeping a clean sheet in the French top flight.
Nevertheless, Luis Enrique focused on the positives of his side's performance against Nantes, who have lost just one of their seven league games on home soil this season.
“Obviously the result doesn't reflect what happened on the pitch, but we played at home against the second best team. We created a lot of chances to score,” he told reporters.
“It's clear that scoring goals is the unfinished business and that's what wins games, but I have nothing to complain about my team. We tried until the end, all we have to do is keep trying.”
“This is a team that scores a lot of goals and creates a lot of chances. If we are unlucky, I will never criticize my players for missing an opportunity to score. I just encourage them to keep building confidence and improving themselves.”
FULL-TIME: Auxerre 0-0 Paris Saint-Germain.
An excellent performance from the opponent's goalkeeper means that the deadlock was not broken tonight.
