Blanc: PSG in 'favorable position'

Aiming for a hat-trick of Ligue 1 titles, PSG moved a step closer to the feat after a 3-1 win over Metz on Tuesday.

Paris Saint-Germain coach Laurent Blanc acknowledged his side is now in pole position to win Ligue 1 after a 3-1 triumph over Metz on Tuesday.

PSG - which has won the last two Ligue 1 titles - started Tuesday's match goal difference behind Lyon.

But it won its game in hand, with goals from Marco Verratti, Edinson Cavani and Gregory van der Wiel sealing an important success in Paris.

Just four league matches remain for PSG, starting with a clash against Nantes on Sunday, and Blanc urged his side to keep going after its latest victory.
