Mauricio Pochettino will return to Bayern in the Champions League -
JEE / SIPA
The internet never disappoints.
No sooner had PSG drawn Bayern Munich in the Champions League quarter-finals than the Twittos were eager to unearth Mauricio Pochettino's latest result against the Bavarians in Europe: a humiliating 7-2 defeat in London .
Except this is all a bit dishonest.
The Spurs were at the end of the race after narrowly failing in the C1 final and Poche had little to do with it.
Moreover, the Argentine says he is downright optimistic when it comes to finding Bayern.
"We are optimistic, the team will be competitive, we have eliminated Barcelona, we will focus on Bayern, with one goal, that of qualifying for the semi-finals," said the Argentine on the website of the PSG.
“The Champions League is very difficult to win, you have to play against the best, and we will face the defending champion.
The draw would have been necessarily difficult, and surprises exist, but we will play against those who are the best on the continent at the moment, ”he continued.
Leonardo is not afraid
Sporting director Leonardo also made this argument on RMC Sport: "To go to the end in the Champions League, you have to go through everyone," he said, evaluating Bayern as "the team that is perhaps the fittest at the moment and who has just won a lot of titles ”.
“It's always interesting to shoot teams like that.
PSG is in an important evolution compared to this competition.
Final last year, quarterfinal this year… Facing teams like that gives you experience.
We have a team with a lot of experience: even if it is young, it has had a lot of experience in competition, some have already won it.
We are always optimistic, ”continued the Brazilian.
