Nantes vs Paris Saint Germain preview - Aurier talks up treble chances

Paris St Germain defender Serge Aurier is convinced his side can sign off their season with a historic treble as they head into Sunday's Ligue 1 clash at Nantes.

The Ivory Coast international signed a four-year deal this week when the league leaders triggered an option to make his season-long loan move from Toulouse permanent.

PSG head into the game three points clear of second-placed Lyon on the back of their 3-1 midweek win at Metz, while they will add the Coupe de France title to their Coupe de la Ligue crown if they beat Auxerre at the end of this month.

Aurier told a press conference: "We have had some tough times this season and were heavily criticised but we never threw in the towel and we're still here fighting for the treble.

"If we can win the league and the cup it will be historic. We know it will be something important, something incredible, and perhaps we will never do it again so this is the moment to do it."

PSG keeper Salvatore Sirigu is unlikely to figure with the heel injury which saw him miss the midweek win over Metz, with Nicolas Douchez likely to continue to deputise.

With nothing but pride left to play for, mid-table Nantes will continue to look to youth with boss Michel Der Zakarian paying tribute to the impact of Yacine Bammou and Georges-Kevin N'Koudou.

Der Zakarian said: "We knew this season we would suffer up front while we had kids who were starting to discover Ligue 1.

"What Yacine has done this season is great and he must continue to work. N'Koudou is the same and they should both continue to progress."
