Blaise Matuidi demands quadruple focus

PSG midfielder Blaise Matuidi urges his teammates to get the Coupe de la Ligue success out of their system and complete their quadruple bid.

Blaise Matuidi has demanded focus after Paris Saint-Germain picked up part one of a potential quadruple on Saturday by winning the Coupe de la Ligue.

Laurent Blanc's side thrashed 10-man Bastia 4-0 at Stade de France last night, courtesy of braces from Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Edinson Cavani.

The win could act as the foundations for further glory this season as Les Parisiens also chase success in the Champions League, Coupe de France and Ligue 1.

Matuidi, who played 90 minutes last night, urged his teammates not to celebrate too hard as the French giants welcome Barcelona to Parc des Princes next week.

"[Winning on Saturday] was the goal. Now all is well for us," he told France 2. "We played to win; it was a very good game. We had control and opportunities.

"This is the first title, now we will go for the second and why not the third? It was important to win for confidence - we are very happy.

"We will celebrate in the locker room and then quickly get to rest, because we have a big game next against Barcelona. We must quickly re-focus."

Sebastian Squillaci got sent off after 20 minutes at Stade de France, with Ibrahimovic converting the resulting penalty to send PSG on their way.
