In touchy words, Pochettino explains how he and PSG players feel after the defeat against Real Madrid

Paris Saint-Germain coach Mauricio Pochettino has expressed his dismay after being eliminated from the Champions League round of 16 by Real Madrid at the Bernabéu. He did so in the press conference before Sunday’s game against Bordeaux.

In his analysis of the Real Madrid match, Pochettino said: “We are all disappointed: the players, everyone at the club … It’s a huge disappointment. We took a big hit. The past few days have been very difficult. I feel upset. , I have anger, I have discomfort and difficulty sleeping at night…”.

Although the Argentine did not give up and had to fight for the domestic title: “It is our responsibility to think about the championship. We have a responsibility to finish the domestic season well. But yes, I understand the disappointment of the fans.”

Pochettino was full of questions about the Bernabeu: “The whole team is affected by this disappointment, but we have to find the motivation to win the Ligue 1. We must take this responsibility for the upcoming matches. We have a responsibility for that. Wearing this shirt even though winning won’t be a consolation after defeating Real Madrid. I hope the players vent their frustration on the field.”

Finally, Mauricio spoke about Benzema’s first goal: “For me, it’s a mistake against Donnarumma. I don’t understand how mouse technology didn’t interfere with this shot. It was a psychological and emotional blow to the team.”
