Paris Saint-Germain's 2-0 win over Bastia was just another step in their marathon to the Ligue 1 title, according to manager Laurent Blanc.

Bastia looked like holding out for a point following a largely uneventful opening 70 minutes before Zlatan Ibrahimovic popped up with two efforts late on and Blanc hailed his side's maturity and ability to be patient.

"We were expecting a difficult match and it was," Blanc told PSG's official website.

"It's always difficult away to Bastia. I told my players they would have to be patient and play to our strengths, our technical quality, our philosophy.
