PSG drew 1-1 with PSV on Tuesday at the Parc des Princes, missing the chance to secure points and move to the top of the Champions League table.
Paris Saint-Germain got back on track with a win over RC Strasbourg in Ligue 1's Matchday 8, following their 2-0 loss to Arsenal in the Champions League and a 1-1 draw with OGC Nice in the league.
