>> All the Week 12 match reports!

 Girondins de Bordeaux / AS Monaco FC : 1 - 0

Laurent Blanc (Bordeaux coach): "Just looking at the score, you could say we had trouble beating Monaco but if we analyse the match as a whole, then Bordeaux really dominated. We needed to be patient and keep an eye on their attacking players. We could have won by more. We played football and we created 17 chances. I'm very happy with my players and the way they obtained this result."

Guy Lacombe (Monaco coach): "The trouble is we had chances to score before they did and we didn't take them. If you look at the game then there can be no arguments over the scoreline. We know that when you play at Bordeaux it's always like that and they always manage to score from a set piece."

 Olympique de Marseille / Toulouse FC : 1 - 1

Didier Deschamps (Marseille coach): "I've got no reason to criticise my players. We could have hoped to have been a bit cleaner technically, because this was a game we could have won. If we keep playing like this then we'll move forward."

André-Pierre Gignac (Toulouse): "At 10 v 11 we would have been delighted with a draw but in the end having let our lead slip, we're actually quite disappointed."

 AS Saint-Etienne / Olympique Lyonnais : 0 - 1

Bafétimbi Gomis (Lyon): "It's not Bafé's victory, it's above all else a victory for l'Olympique Lyonnais. There's real pleasure at winning after two defeats which knocked us back. When you come back to a club wearing a different shirt and you are booed, then it's sure that makes you even more motivated. I celebrated my goal with my team-mates in a quiet way because there are plenty of examples of other players whose celebrations have got out of hand against former clubs."
