Check out what Raul Gonzalez, Mathieu Grébille and Ruben Marchan had to say after the capital club's 34-31 defeat at Nantes on Matchday 14 of the Liqui Moly StarLigue.
Raul Gonzalez (Paris Saint-Germain handball coach):
"We managed to equalise in the second half, but we made too many mistakes after that. It's complicated to play here, they have some good players. Now we're level, which means we'll still have a chance to fight for the title right to the end. We lost here, while they lost in Toulouse, where we won... nothing is set in stone. It just goes to show that the French league is one of the toughest. You have to win every game, there are still a lot of matches to go. We need to take it one game at a time."
Mathieu Grébille (Paris Saint-Germain handball left winger):
"Overall, they dominated the game. We tried hard to come back and take some points. Unfortunately, it wasn't enough. Congratulations to Nantes. It's only one match, and there's a long way to go. We just have to hang in there and give it everything we've got for the rest of the season."
Ruben Marchan (Paris Saint-Germain handball pivot):
"It was a crucial match, the most important of the first half of the season. We were on par in the second half, but we paid for our mistakes from the first. Well done to Nantes for winning. We want to win the final match of the year, against Saint-Raphaël, to regain top spot or at least keep up. The return leg will be at home, there's only a three-goal gap on the head-to-head goal difference, so we'll have to give our all in that game and for the rest of the second half of the season."
