Paris Saint-Germain 2-2 Caen: Ibra & Company throw away a two goal lead

Paris Saint-Germain are in rough shape heading into their Champions League clash with Chelsea after suffering four injuries and a last-gasp collapse to draw 2-2 with Caen in Ligue 1.

First-half goals from Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Ezequiel Lavezzi at the Parc des Princes looked to have put PSG on course for a victory which would have put them back on top of the league for the first time since December.

But injuries to Yohan Cabaye, Marquinhos, Serge Aurier and Lucas Moura left the champions to finish the game with nine men, and they wilted in the face of visiting pressure.

Emiliano Sala reduced the arrears with two minutes to play before a stoppage-time free kick from Herve Bazile beat Salvatore Sirigu and snatched a point.

PSG remain a point off Lyon, who can extend their advantage at Lorient on Sunday.

Blanc may be forced to shuffle his pack when runaway Premier League leaders Chelsea visit the French capital on Tuesday while his players will be in desperate need of a psychological lift.
