Blanc: Paris Saint-Germain deserved win over Shakhtar

The 49-year-old insists his side was well worth its 3-0 Champions League victory in Lviv on Wednesday, but praised the host's spirit throughout the tie.

Laurent Blanc insisted there was nothing lucky about Paris Saint-Germain's performance and 3-0 win over Shakhtar Donetsk that saw it keep pace at the top of Champions League Group A on Wednesday.

First-half goals from Serge Aurier and David Luiz had put the visitor 2-0 ahead in Lviv, and though Shakhtar pressed hard to pull one back after the interval, Darijo Srna's late own-goal put the result beyond all doubt.
