The former Tottenham Hotspur manager also said that PSG deserved the win over Real Madrid, describing the LaLiga giants as an amazing team.
Pochettino said, "I think it was amazing the performance, I am very pleased for the players. I think we deserved the victory. In the last minute, in the last action, it was good. But in that moment you only enjoy it for a few seconds, because in your mind it's 'ok in three weeks we have the next game.'
