Paris St Germain president Alain Cayzac has insisted his embattled side will fight until the bitter end in a bid to avoid relegation.

The capital club are in real danger of being relegated for the first time in their relatively short history after a season to forget at the Parc des Princes.

Another defeat at the weekend left Paul Le Guen's side languishing in the third and final relegation spot with just five games to play.

But it was the nature of Sunday's defeat at home to Nice that has caused concern in the PSG camp - PSG led 2-1 until the 83rd minute when two goals in three minutes saw Nice turn the game on its head and take all three points.

Cayzac admitted the manner of defeat seriously dented the player's morale, but he insists his club have what it takes to recover and stave off the spectre of relegation.

He said: "We need to pick ourselves up and not to discourage each other. We are going to fight until the end.

"It's not an original saying, but if I don't believe any more... We need to show now how big we are.

"It is a second serious blow after Nancy [a 1-0 defeat the previous week], but I don't have the impression that we are going to sink.

"We cannot reproach the players for not having fought."

Next up for PSG is a trip to 12th placed Caen next weekend before home games with Auxerre and St Etienne and away clashes against Toulouse and Sochaux complete this season's fixtures.
