Comparations in football are sometimes inevitable. Especially when you’re in charge of one spending-spree team that bottled in Europe once again and won the domestic title. Just like that other one. But it doesn’t mean you’re the same. That’s something someone should warn PSG coach Mauricio Pochettino after he compared the Parc des Princes outfit with Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City. The Argentine gaffer has claimed this season was successful for the Saints.Wow! Pochettino claims he and Mbappe “both stay at PSG 100%”The former Tottenham boss attempted to justify his achievements at the club despite only winning the Ligue 1 title in the last campaign – which is the bare minimum expected in Paris – saying he had done exactly what Manchester City had done at another club with high expectations.”PSG are desperate to win the Champions League. The goal is to win it and it is normal for troubles to occur, but we overcame them by winning the Championship just as City won it in England,” he said.Pochettino isn’t setting Paris alight, but he’s still the most desired coach in the world”With the expectations and the dressing room we have, this season has been a continuous learning curve,’ he added. ‘We were one step away from eliminating Madrid, as were Chelsea, City and Liverpool. TUE: 21.45: (2.35) GERMANY (3.30) ENGLAND (3.35)”We won like [Carlo] Ancelotti, [Laurent] Blanc… other coaches. But there is a lot of impatience in the club. I think we’re going to find the right form of agreement so that the players, the technical staff and the management can all go in the same direction.”
