Verratti bullish despite PSG defeat to Nice

The Italy international remains upbeat, even with his side's dominant run in Ligue 1 looking like it is about to end

While Paris Saint-Germain's Ligue 1 hopes are slipping away, Marco Verratti insists the French champions are always growing.

PSG's chances of a fifth successive title were dealt a huge blow on Sunday following their 3-1 defeat at Nice.

The four-time defending champions imploded late after Thiago Motta and Angel Di Maria were sent off as second-placed PSG were left three points adrift of leaders Monaco, who have a game in hand.

PSG's pursuit of European glory also ended horrendously following a nightmare second-leg loss to Barcelona in the Champions League last 16.
