The FC Barcelona He is currently fully focused on the comeback against Sevilla, but in a couple of weeks another awaits him against Paris Saint-Germain. Before the French they will have to do even more the impossible and they will have to turn it around 1-4 of the first leg. A tremendously complicated mission, much more than lifting the Cup 2-0 against Sevilla, but that the Catalans will try.
There are those who believe that the Parisians have already done it and that it is impossible for Barça to overcome the tie. Nevertheless, from Paris they speak with great caution, surely because they still have in mind the historic 6-1 of 2017. Then, the French arrived at the Camp Nou 4-0 and with everything in their favor, but they were disastrous in Barcelona and the Barcelona fans did the impossible and thrashed to qualify for the quarterfinals.
Mauricio Pochettino, current PSG coach, did not experience that debacle for those in the French capital, but he is still very cautious when talking about the return crossing of this season. “In football everything is possible, the most incredible can happen, both positive and negative“The Argentine commented in an interview for the AFP news agency when asked about it.
The former Tottenham or Espnayol coach acknowledged that anything can happen in football and that is why he is used on all stages. Despite that, he clarified that they are “positive” for the return match. “Sometimes the unthinkable can happen and that’s why I prefer to think that you have to win again to avoid unpleasant surprises. But we are positive, of course, “he said.
Pochettino wanted to insist on this positivism and made it clear that they will face the duel with good feelings and with the intention of winning and not speculating with the result. “We prepare all matches in the same way, always with the mentality of generating positive feelings. We have to prepare for all difficulties, be strong, mentally strong, not only for the second leg, but for all matches, “he said.
Pochettino praised Kylian Mbappé
Finally, he referred to Kylian Mbappé author of a ‘hat-trick’ in the first leg, who could once again be the main protagonist of the second leg. “I think he is already among the best in the world, he only needs a while to flesh out his resume, get the recognition you deserve and that you are going to get. He has the potential, he lacks nothing but time. We cannot accelerate the process, “he concluded.
