The former defender was thrilled to see his side smash six past Lille on Saturday and warns they must now be ready for a "sprint finish" to the season.Paris Saint-Germain coach Laurent Blanc believes his players proved they had put their Champions League exit behind them on Saturday.
Ezequiel Lavezzi netted a hat-trick as the Ligue 1 leaders thrashed Lille 6-1 at the Parc des Princes, just days after being eliminated by Barcelona in Europe.
Blanc believes his players have shown their powers of recovery and says they must now prepare for a "sprint finish" to the league season.
"It was very important to show tonight that we had overcome the Champions League elimination. We did that," he said.
"It's the sprint finish now, and we need to win as many matches as possible, especially at home.
"We were very wary of this Lille side, but scoring two goals inside the opening five minutes did us the world of good. Congratulations to my players for their match."
Blanc's men are three points clear of Lyon, who travel to Reims on Sunday looking to reclaim top spot.
