"Obviously there is this disappointment, but we have to get this Ligue Championship title. There is unity, have no doubt about this unity. I am a coach who will fight with his team to get this 11th title," he said.

Galtier's mood was a lot better after the Brest win than it was after the Bayern Munich game. PSG Talk reported that there was a lot of anger and disappointment in the dressing room after the game.

Galtier was said to have spoken to the team and made it clear that there would be consequences if they didn't bounce back from the loss.

Messi and Mbappe combine

Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe combined to a devastating effect as PSG left it late to beat relegation-threatened Brest.

The victory meant that the French side tightened their grip at the top of Ligue 1, Sports Brief reported.

The pair, who have spearheaded PSG's league title chase in the absence of Neymar, were kept at bay in midweek when Bayern Munich dumped them out of the Champions League.

PSG will focus on league

Kylian Mbappe has expressed disappointment following Paris Saint-Germain's Champions League exit on Wednesday night.

Mbappe and his PSG teammates were hoping to overturn a first-leg 1-0 deficit but ended up suffering a 2-0 defeat in the reverse fixture, bowing out of the competition with a three-nil deficit across two legs.

Sports Brief reported that Mbappe expressed disappointment while swiftly channelling his attention to the French topflight.
