Paris Saint-Germain coach Laurent Blanc has warned his players not to get complacent when they visit Chelsea in the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final tie.
PSG beat Jose Mourinho's team 3-1 on Wednesday evening to give them a commanding lead ahead of the return leg at Stamford Bridge.
However, the Frenchman believes that the tie is far from over.
"It is encouraging," Blanc told reporters. "But qualification is far from being acquired.
"I felt the team was a little dejected [at 1-1 at half time] but I told them that they should return with a fighting spirit. That's what we did.
"The Blues, they did a lot of running [in the first half], so they were struggling. We are really pleased with the second half; that's where we made the difference."
Meanwhile, Zlatan Ibrahimovic has been ruled out for four weeks with a hamstring problem.
