(CRHoy.com) Once the last 16 of the UEFA Champions League, with a superb performance by Keylor Navas against FC Barcelona, all the attention of Paris Saint Germain (PSG) is focused on Ligue 1.
And the thing is that in football the only thing that matters is the present and if the Parisians want to fight for the title in the local championship they must win this Sunday against Nantes in the Parc des Princes.
Gone are the celebrations and applause of the Champions League, now what they care about is being able to add three points to climb to the top in French football.
“We are very happy with the classification. For 14 years, Barcelona had always qualified for the quarterfinals, so it’s a great performance, but we also saw less positive things. We continue to work and the team is now focused on Nantes.
We seek perfectionbut we should also be delighted with the rating. In the second leg, I am not 100% happy, but why focus only on this match when it is played for more than 180 minutes? We won 5-2 in both games and eliminated Barcelona. That’s the magic of the Champions League, ”said coach Mauricio Pochettino this Saturday.
At a press conference he also spoke of Nantes as a rival, the fight for three titles, including Neymar’s recovery.
