PARIS : Paris St Germain's Ligue 1 situation is "not acceptable", coach Christophe Galtier said on Friday after their lead at the top of the table shrunk to six points ahead of two key encounters.PSG were 10 points ahead in late February but they have now lost their last two games in their worst start to a calendar year in 22 years.

On Saturday, they visit Nice, who are on a 12-match unbeaten streak, although they drew their last four games.Second-placed RC Lens will be next up for PSG, who have already been eliminated from the Champions League and the French Cup.Lens will provisionally move within three points of PSG later on Friday if they beat Racing Strasbourg at home."These are important matches.

Nice are on a huge unbeaten run since (coach) Didier Digard took over. Then we will be hosting Lens, but first there is Nice," Galtier told a news conference on Friday. "We are all aware that we must do more, including myself.

We must also show more personality and have a lot of pride. Our situation is not acceptable. We must not act, but react."Galtier warned that PSG's lead was not a guarantee they would secure the title at the end of the season."We obviously have to get out of this spiral.

It looked like PSG might go on to record a big victory but they eased off in the second half and relegation-bound Angers pulled a goal back late on through Sada Thioub.
