Bradley Barcola scored his second goal in two games to give Paris Saint-Germain a late 1-0 win over lowly Auxerre and return to the top of Ligue 1 on Friday, January 23.
Coach Luis Enrique said that Paris Saint-Germain lacked confidence despite Barcola's deft chipped finish.
"I think it's very obvious, it's a strange moment. We're putting pressure on Lens, which is key," said Luis Enrique, whose European champions suffered a shock 2-1 defeat away to Sporting Lisbon in the Champions League in midweek.
"We're lacking a bit of confidence and accuracy to finish off chances, it was difficult," he added. "The players are not machines, today we weren't accurate with our passes and our ball movement."
