Mauricio Pochettino talks about the match with the Catalan team, which has nothing to lose and will attempt the big overturn. The coach of PSG also dwells on the condition of his players, while giving a comment about the renewal of Kylian Mbappe.
“We have to be very focused against Barcelona. To forget the result of the first match, we have to go down on the field and think as if the first match was 0-0. To use our form, we need maximum concentration from the first minute”, he said.
“Mbappe? The club has been dealing with the renewal of Kylian for a long time, it is important that both parties agree in the end. Both the player and the leaders of the club, at the moment, are focused on achieving the goals we have set for ourselves.”
“Florenzi? He is fine and has gathered for the match of next day. I have not yet decided if it will be a starter. Alessandro is well trained, let’s see tomorrow if he will be active from the beginning or not.”
“Neymar will be missing, he can not play at the moment, this is the reality. He tried until the end, he did not want to lose this match. We are sorry, because he was very motivated to help his teammates”, concluded the Argentine coach.
