Ranieri "very happy" with PSG draw

Monaco coach Claudio Ranieri has expressed his happiness after his side's draw at Paris Saint-Germain on Sunday.

Radamel Falcao cancelled out Zlatan Ibrahimovic's opener to earn the league leaders a 1-1 draw at Parc des Princes.

"Today was a good game and a good result for Monaco. I think that Paris played well and put on a good show for the fans, as Monaco did," Ranieri said in a press conference. "We tried to win this game until the very last moment. I am very happy with the result away from home.

"I think we had two results in mind – to win or to draw, so I am very happy with my players' performance against such a great side. It is important to make a good game and to build what would be our ideal style of play. I know that Paris has a squad full of players with great abilities.

"They also possess a lot of players with years of experience at the top, a lot more than my players. There are many players in my squad without any experience of playing in Ligue 1 and they had to play against PSG. They played against great players tonight so I think that was great for my younger players who can use this game to develop."

Monaco remain top of Ligue 1, while PSG climb to second.
