French champions Paris Saint-Germain finished 2014 with a victory as a second half goal from Yohan Cabaye handed them a narrow 1-0 victory over Italian Serie A side Inter Milan on Tuesday in Morocco. In a prestige friendly, held in the North African country, PSG coach Laurent Blanc made numerous changes at the Grand Stade in front of around 30,000 supporters.

Former Newcastle United favourite Cabaye grabbed the only goal of the game on 57 minutes when he converted following sustained pressure from the capital club. Uruguayan striker Edinson Cavani was a notable absentee and given an extended winter break while talisman Zlatan Ibrahimovic was given a chance to prove his return to fitness and lasted the full 90 minutes.
“It was a good match,” said Swede Ibrahimovic. “We’ve had a super three days here with very intensive training sessions. Winning is good for the confidence but the most important is to work well to prepare the second part of the season.” Meanwhile, Blanc said he would be awaiting “some explanations” from both Cavani and Lavezzi, who missed the training camp in Morocco.
“They’ll arrive on (January) 2 in the morning in Paris,” explained Blanc, who refused to be drawn on a possible transfer of either of the two players when the window opens on Saturday. “We can’t say that today. We’re going to wait until they arrive,” he said. “We’ll expect some explanations, and then we’ll make sporting decisions as a club.”
PSG are currently third in French Ligue 1, but only three points behind leaders and arch rivals Marseille, while they also have a key UEFA Champions League last 16 tie against Chelsea looming large in February. Their next competitive match is against 2012 Ligue 1 champions Montpellier in the French Cup on 5 January.
