Carlo Ancelotti: Title race not over

Carlo Ancelotti refuses to give up on the Ligue 1 title following defeat to Lille.

Paris Saint-Germain boss Carlo Ancelotti has insisted that the title is not lost despite falling to a 2-1 defeat at Lille.

An Eden Hazard penalty and a header from Nolan Roux saw Les Dogues battle back from a goal down to keep alive their slim hopes of retaining their Ligue 1 crown.

Defeat at the Stade Lille-Metropole means that Les Parisiens remain five points behind Montpellier HSC.

Lille are two points further back with just four games now remaining.

"It was not a good evening," said the Italian. "We have lost an important match which we were in control of.

"We have to look forwards because the championship is not over and we need to react immediately from this defeat. We want to qualify for the Champions League, Lille are now two points behind us. The title is not lost yet."

Ancelotti took over at PSG in December.
