According to Tasnim news agency, Mauricio Pochettino, whose team lost 2: 1 to Leipzig last night (Tuesday) in the third week of the group stage of the Champions League, turned it into a 3: 2 victory with Lionel Messi’s goals, after this match. “We got off to a great start, with Killian Mbabane scoring,” he told France Radio Monte Carlo. Then we got into a bad period of our game against a team that had scored three goals in its first game in the group stage against Manchester City. Leipzig is a team that is able to create scoring opportunities, they were a very dangerous teammate in this game.
He added: “I think we showed our personality.” We fought to get through the difficult period of the game. We showed in the offensive work that we have a special organization and our players showed their talent. We will progress over time and I have no doubt about that.
“The quality of Mbabane’s game in the second half was fantastic,” said the Paris Saint-Germain coach. When you have a player like Messi with that ability to pass and players like Hakimi and Mendes on the wings who are able to attack the empty space, we can play games like this. We can also progress in the proprietary game, which also takes time.
