They made qualifying for Europe even trickier on Friday against Nantes did themselves no favours on Friday, and goalkeeper Steve Mandanda will bear the brunt of the blame for the loss.
The goalkeeper made inexplicably put one of his defenders under immense pressure by passing it to him while the opposition's attack were closing in.

Another loss, and another step backwards from Champions League football next season. Oh how the mighty have fallen.
