Good win but seemed like a freak result to an extent. With Lewa fit instead of Chupa-Chups, Bayern probably would have won that game 6-3 or summat. Fancy them in the return leg assuming he is back.

They love an ouel Ole vs Poch debate, or something.
Amadeus traumatized half of the caf.
Why is this thread not named "Poch Watch"
The funny thing is that Bayern were by far the better coached side.
If you’re going to call people ‘stupid’ make sure it don’t turn round and bite you back.
Poch I believe is a great coach, but not sure how much you can give him credit here, he relied heavily on Neymar, Mbappe and Navas individual talent mixed in with Bayern poor finishing.
Ole could do great things with this PSG side.
Mbappe is the best fast break player in the world.
PSG didn´t have anything on Bayern last night except longballs and Mbappe.
Bayern with Lewa would have killed them, Gnabry was also missing.

I see the Poch brigade are back and as intolerable as ever after stealing a win against Bayern.
You thought PSG were good last night? They were comfortably outplayed on the ball I thought. Bayern swarmed them and were missing Lewandowski badly.
They were just devastating on the counter attack due to Mbappe. It wasn't a masterclass by them or Poch. I thought they were a bit lucky tbh.
It was good counter attacking football. Something Ole has done very well for us numerous times (PSG, Chelsea, City numerous times etc).
Best explanation of a game right here. There is absolutely nothing good in the way they performed last night, another night and they'd have been out. I'm a Pochettino fan, but his PSG stint so far has been far from impressive, especially the last night. He is not only adored for results (frankly, how can he be), but for the style. And so far, he is below expectations.
It's a gimmick he plays on here that has become very tiresome.
This sounds like an Ole bashing comment (I know it's not clearly haha!)
MUFC didn't play well, Ole relied on Bruno's individual brilliance and West Ham's poor finishing (rinse and repeat)
This is coming from a self confessed Ole Fanboy here too! haha!
I'm on the contrary not the Ole fan because of the style, and because I don't like Ole style, I really can't see how I could praise Pochettino for last night. What I think is that United should strive to become in terms of play something like Bayern, and that is going to take years to build. Sadly we where among the elite for years, but sustained period of poor decisions has led us where we are now.
I am seeing 9 out of 10 posts panning Poch and 1 out of 10 panning Ole. I think you might have ignored too many posters.
The Glaston effect.
Where did I said anything about Ole? You might want to turn my post into an Ole vs Poch one, but that's not the reality. It's just an observation on the rapturous praise given to Poch by the usual posters after what was a very fortunate results in what is a pretty disappointing season.
They've found a manager who can help them get and see out a lead.
Fair play PSG were the better team by far tonight, well done to Poch!
They better be in the bleeding final now!
Fair play to them - was like a reverse of the other game. Neymar should have had 2, could have had about 5. Gueye is a properly good player. Looks like it's a Middle East Derby for the semi
Unbelievable. He knocked out the best team in Europe and should have destroyed them in the second leg, if psg were more clinical. 9 out of 10 times, psg would have won that second leg by three goals or more with the chances they had. Who can argue that Pochettino isn’t one of the top two managers in football now? Now if they want to win this competition, they would need to get Marquinho, Verrati and iquardi back. You can’t argue that Pochettino had an easy ride so far after knocking out Barcelona and Bayern.
Beating the holders is always an impressive achievement. Nice one
Hopefully they can expose City.
Adapted well today. They were really good, arguably the better team over two legs.
Hilarious that Spurs went from having him to Jose. Poch's attacking philosophy and courage to leave his attackers up the pitch in the away leg has won PSG the tie.
Yes, Poch!
Unless he wins the CL and Ligue 1, we can't even say he is top 4. Pep, Klopp, Zidane, Flick all comfortably better. He along with Naglesmann has the most potential to be after Pep and Klopp though.
Well done, Poch. Hope they or Dortmund go on to win it.
If he’s the second, does that mean the Lille manager is the first?
I think they're perfectly equipped to knock out City
Yeah with Bayern missing Lewa, Tolisso, Gnabry, D Costa..
Let's not overhype the great Poch
Well done mate, no better reply than this
I don’t see how he can respond to this one.They are better equipped than Bayern. City play similar football to Bayern but are just better at it even though Bayern has better players. PSG play football which is almost designed to beat teams like City.
what Pochettino has done at spurs have been overlooked by people who doesn’t understand football. But, it is good to see that at a big club he is able to be as effective. The scary part is that, this psg team isnt fully his team yet. I am interested to see which players he brings in and truly turn them into a monster. If I was Pochettino, I would focus on getting Pogba as he suits the flair of players found in that psg team and his attacking philosophy. Pogba should be the best midfielder on the planet, but he needs a coach like Pochettino to bring that out of him. Maybe also get Salah as well And a top striker if Mbappe leaves. As well as a left back.
Anyway, the Machester City game will be as tough. If psg are not clinical, they could go out in the semi fin against them.
PSG were missing Marquinhos and Verratti too. Icardi, Bernat and Florenzi out too.
No one as big a miss as Lewa but this isn't PSG with everyone either.
It isn't overlooked but at the end of the day, to be considered top or near top you have to win the league or the CL.

What Bielsa and Moyes are doing is more impressive than what even Pep has done I feel but we know that Pep is gonna win the manager of the year award.
