“There is no favourite” in the knockout round of the Champions League that will be played by two of the top favorites for the titleParis SG and Real Madrid, assured the coach of the French champion Mauricio Pochettino on the eve of Tuesday’s first leg.
The words of the Parisian DT
“I think there is no favourite, I think it is a tie that could be a Champions League final, by name, by players and by quality”, Rosario’s coach declared this Monday at a press conference.
“We are the applicants and, beyond everything that has been seen, especially because of the club’s effort to put together a squad to achieve the long-awaited dream, we are still contenders. Because Madrid have the habit of winning the Champions League”, admitted Pochettino.
“But we are not going to be victims. I trust my team, my club and the fans who show us energy. I can say that the tie before it starts is even”, he reiterated.
Alongside Pochettino appeared the captain of PSG, the Brazilian central defender Marquinhos, who admitted that despite the fact that his club has gathered a group of stars, the results and, above all, the game, have been quite irregular this season.
“We have played good games and other bad ones in which we have lost, but we must not forget everything that has been done. Tomorrow (Tuesday) is a very important game for us, but precisely everything that has been done along the way is what has allowed us to get to this point”, he claimed.
