PSG lost last night (Wednesday) its last chance to qualify for the quarter-finals from first place following a loss, 2: 1 against Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium.
Although the team from the City of Lights secured promotion to the next stage, the loss to Pep Guardiola's side, determined that Leo Messi and his teammates will play in the next stage against an opponent who will finish first in another house.
After the whistle, Mauricio Pochettino's side, who finished the home stage without an away win, received quite a bit of criticism, especially for their defensive play when even the headlines in the media, beat without much mercy.
"Loss with the taste of illegal immigration," reads the main headline of the L'Equipe.
In "La Parisien" they followed a less delicate line: "Paris is not ready for the task yet. It is a pity that only Ambape made us smile ...".
0 - Paris are winless in their last four Champions League away games (D2 L2).
Paris finished the group stage of the competition without a win away from home in a single season for the first time since 2004/05.
Feeble.

Jamie Krager, a former Liverpool stopper and current commentator, was a little more sarcastic in his critique of Sky: PSG have no chance of winning the Champions League this way, "he said, explaining," Leo Messi has not won a title yet Many years in Barcelona as well.
Ambape just walks on the grass.
It is impossible to accept such a thing, it is a pity that he does not go down to help the defense.
It is difficult to accept that. "

The one who was left with his feet on the ground was coach Mauricio Pochettino, who concluded indifferently: "Bottom line - we achieved our goal, to qualify for the next stage. Of course we wanted to finish in first place, but the host team was better than us. We must understand patience because we "It's getting better. There are much better things on the field now compared to what I saw a month ago."
Were we wrong?
Fixed!
