The former defender was more disappointed to lose David Luiz and Yohan Cabaye to injury than by the result against Bordeaux
Paris Saint-Germain coach Laurent Blanc says his "fragile" side deserved nothing more from their 3-2 Ligue 1 defeat at Bordeaux on Sunday.
Having knocked Chelsea out of the Champions League on Wednesday, PSG twice came from behind to pull level at Stade Chaban-Delmas through Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
However, Diego Rolan slotted home late on to consign PSG to a first defeat in 16 in all competitions, while David Luiz and Yohan Cabaye were forced off injured in the 38th and 60th minutes respectively.
Ibrahimovic was incensed at the performance of the officials after the match but Blanc was more disappointed by his side's injuries than the result itself.
"We lost because Bordeaux deserved to win more than Paris did," Blanc said after the game. "The reason? There isn't just one reason.
"We perhaps deserved a draw because we twice came from behind, but Bordeaux dominated the match. We were too fragile.
"We weren't as technically proficient as usual, which can be explained by several factors.
"We were expecting a tough match. We played with 10 men on Wednesday [against Chelsea].
"This afternoon, they really took the game to us. I don't think we had the resources to win, as simple as that.
"More than the defeat, I'm most unhappy that we lost two players. David Luiz has a muscular problem, his hamstring. For Cabaye, it's the knee."
