This meeting of the 36th day will remain as that of missed opportunities.
As expected, Troyes has still not opened its victory counter at the Parc des Princes against PSG.
But Bruno Irles and his players have come closer to maintaining, the objective of all promoted at the start of the year.
On the strength of a job well done, they returned to their locker room with a smile on Sunday evening.
The Parisians have, them, spun with the mine of the bad days.
We hardly expected, it must be admitted, to see them held in check by the Aubois.
After having already shared the points in its last two outings in front of Lens (1-1) and Strasbourg (3-3), PSG has, in fact, once again dropped two points in front of its public.
This disappointing result did not really snatch criticism from Mauricio Pochettino.
“We quickly led to the score, but two actions, two errors, cost us two goals, explained the Argentinian in a press conference.
Everyone has seen it.
But the team deserved to win, because we created more games, we were a bit unlucky.

In front of the Prime Video cameras, Marquinhos also tried to see the glass half full, despite a once again disappointing performance.
“We started well, we had control of the ball, explained the captain.
After small details make the difference.
We don't play much, we are champions, we try to have fun.
Once again at home we didn't win, but we had control of the match.

Marco Verratti did not venture into such an optimistic analysis.
Aware, too, that obtaining the tenth title, a fortnight ago, did not necessarily push Paris to adopt the appropriate behavior, the Italian International did not hesitate to be a little more critical when debrief the performance in Paris.
“There is inevitably a little frustration, conceded the transalpine environment at the microphone of the broadcaster.
We are at the quietest moment of the season.
It's typically the kind of match where you have to have fun.
And the fun is winning.
But we leave the field angry.
It's not really what we dream of at this time of the season, when we are champions.

In addition to this third consecutive draw, it is undoubtedly also the way, a little sluggish, and the defensive errors paid in cash, that "Little Owl" wanted to stigmatize.
“With the team we have, we could do much better, he conceded.
We won a lot of games at the end of this season.
It means that we have character, but we could have been better.
This evidence, Sunday evening, did not escape anyone in the stands.
